OK, I've got a Microsoft Small Business "Live" account for a website and now
shared folders. I uploaded a copy of my OneNote 2007 section to the site and
set permissions to "admin". So far so good. I then clicked on the dropbox
menu for the OneNote Icon (as recognized by the shared folder view) and it
offers to "edit with OneNote". Great! I see the sync icon working, I make
changes, etc. However, as soon as I close the section, it "disappears" from
my desktop! The changes are still on the website. So I want to "share" this
section with others in my company but they are located around the
country/world. I want each person to have a copy of the section and when they
connect to the shared folder in "office Live" they get to make changes and
/or add changes from their recent desktop copy. So I attempted to create a
shared notebook with the UNC path to the Microsoft Live website/shared folder
as the path. The only directory listings I get are on my "local" pc, not the
shared folders on the website. Or I get a logon sreen and I fill it in and
after several minutes it fails to connect or something. So I opened a
helpdesk call to Microsoft and they say first say that OneNote documents are
not supported (at all). I point out the drop box feature for "editing the
OneNote file" and the nice icon that shows up in the shared folder. So then
they change their minds and say that the "shared" feature is not supported in
Office Live shared folders! Now come on, this is a Microsoft- sponsored
website and Office product but the most critical aspect of OneNote for us is
in the syncronous sharing, and I don't mean downloading a recent copy from
the shared folder to the individual desktop... Anyone know more? Am I
expecting too much from Office Live and OneNote? I just wanted it to work as
expected. We can't afford to create/support a Sharepoint site for 10 users. I
suppose we could pay a company for this service or use a shared site
somewhere else , but is that necessary to accomplish this simple request?
Thanks!
