Hello

I have network of 3 pc's which each have office 95 pro and they used to be able to view and ammend each others schedule. Now after a small upgrade to new machines that option is greyed out. I looked for access rights to allow other users but it does not appear to be around. Office is running on XP Home with a hub.

Any ideas, they have to able to share.

Cheers

Sorry Uk, that one is so specific, that I don't think anyone here would have an idea about it.

Thanks Brett for taking the time. Just came on myself to inform of a bodge way round it.

Share the folder with the pst file in across the network. Then create a shortrcut from the remote pc. Only one user can get access to the file at any one time. Crude but it works. Dont recommend it for large scale problems ;)

Thanks and have good new year.

File sharing is always tough. I went through something similar recently being unable to access my intranet after a laptop went into standby. Took a long time to resolve.
