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.
