contacts synchronizing, HELP!!!

[MMM]

Hello!

We had a system set up in the office so that everytime a
new contact was added to the "main" pc, it would generate
email messages for everyone in the office to synchronize
their contacts, that is add the new contacts. I got a new
pc and the system is no longer working in this new
computer, I receive the updating email messages from
the "main" computer but my outlook doen't process them
automatically as it did before. Can somebody tell me what
feature is that and where do I have to set it up?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi - if you were using NetFolders, and your new computer has Outlook 2002 or
2003, note that it won't work for you - NetFolders support was pulled for
those versions and is not likely to come back (it was pretty buggy). See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm for some other options.

How many workstations do you have, and are you using a domain or a workgroup
for your network? Exchange server can do all this and more, but depending on
your budget/setup/admin skills, may be overkill.

Hello!
Thanks fo your time, çomputers here are not using net
folders; at least not that I know! and we don't have a
domain, just a workgroup. Any idea?

thanks again!
