Sharing Outlook Files
Does anyone know how I go about sharing the Outlook Calender and Contacts with different users on the same computer?
I am running Windows XP (Home Ed) and Outlook 2002 (without exchange server). My wife and I logon to Windows using separate accounts. How do I share my Outlook files between the two users?
Thanks for your help...
