Hi James,
I opted for the simplest option, exporting and importing my address book to
the new computer from the Files Menu of the address book because I'd already
set up just about everything else on the other computers and the
syncronizing was a bit more involved and may be hit and miss if you didn't
know what you were doing, I thought.
I am still considering my options though for syncronizing on a regular basis
and do wonder what others are doing to keep their address books in sync now
that so many have more than one computer in the house. Surely some are
doing it regularly ...
Please let me know of your best found methods folks and thanks, James, for
your comments so far.

Hi Carol,
You could indeed tell Windows to use a shared address book, but as you say
this could cause more problems than it could fix if you are away from
home, or if your network is down for whatever reason. So, there are 2
things that spring to mind. 1 is the files and settings transfer wizard,
found in start menu, programs, accessories, system tools. This I believe
cann copy the address book to other computers on your network. My second
idea is the Synchronised tool found in start menu, programs, accessories.
This can update your network when you logon, and you can tell it to update
your address book as one of the items. Please note that I have not tried
these 2 methods fully, as I don't really use the Windows Address Book, but
it should work.

Hi all,
We use Outlook Express on all computers in the house and I try to keep
address lists updated etc. However, I know I've managed to put a couple
of
addresses into the laptop list recently (though can't remember which) and
I
know my desktop has some the laptop hasn't.
All computers are networked and I am wondering if it would be best if they
all shared the same book, though this may be inconvenient if we're away
from
home with the laptops.
Can anyone suggest what I should do now to sync my address list and keep
it
that way with all three computers?
Thanks, as always, for suggestions.
