Here's a link about outlook's net folders: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/netfolders.htm It explains some things about setting up the shared folders, some config that is possible, and some known problems. But really, these net folders are pretty simple. There is not a lot of administration required for them in my experience, just set them up and forget them! Hope it works out for you!

Me, I tend to stick with "if it ain't broken, don't fix it"... >-----Original Message----- >From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >[mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sorin Srbu >Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 9:38 AM >To: Windows2000 Mailing List >Subject: [windows2000] Groupware using Outlook Express? > >Hi all, > >Does the shared calender in the Outlook-family imply the need for an >Exchange-server and the sharp version of Outlook? > >In other words, do I need an Exchange server and the outlook version >from eg Office 2000 to be able to use the shared calendar and meeting utils? > >Are there any groupwares that do not need Exhange and that maybe is free? > >Lotus Notes is out of the question BTW...
