I would like to know if I can share an outlook database (.pst) with other 3 computers in my Lan (TCP/IP)

Station1 192.168.1.103
Station2 192.168.1.104
Station3 192.168.1.105
Station4 192.168.1.106

I can do it by mapping the outlook folders of every computer into the other 3, but I only can have one outlook at a time and thats not what I want.

The all 4 computers are running windows 98 2nd Edition.

The fifth computer is the server running win98 2nd Ed. too (IP 192.168.1.102)


What can I do?

Are you running Outlook with Exchange Server? You could create a public folder.

You are doing exactly what I need done for one of my clients. And unfortunately, you have to have an exchange server and then you would delegate the account to other users in the exchange. That's all I know.

I so far created the client profile and shared the folder where the pst file is, but they can't simultaneously use the same profile.

I use win95 and win98SE.

Planning to move them to exchange server to get that done.

I myself really wonder if anything else other than exchange server is possible to do.

If you find an answer let me know.

No, you can't have multiple users sharing the same profile. I think the real goal is to have each user with their own profile, all of whom have access to some shared data.

I'm not sure is it's exactly what you are looking for, but you could try this:
