Any other suggestions? We need a LOCAL solution.

We do not want "cloud" options that puts our sensitive data in blind trust
w/ 3rd party vendors/hosts and MITM snoops. We do not want our accessibility
dependent on an outside connection or webserver that may not be accessible at
ANY TIME.

BTW, PJ: Small Biz Server 2003 can be set-up in office for ~$2000(licenses,
hardware, install) and will eventually require service by a technician.

Will be trying this tomorrow, but I believe I read this was disabled by a
"security update" recently...you know, for our own protection.

An Exchange server can be a local solution as you can place the server in
your own Office.
There are various solution focused on sharing by 3rd party software
developers as well.
See http://www.howto-outlook.com/tag/sharing

As you didn't quote the original post, probably including current
configuration and usage information, it is hard to offer any specific
solutions that would fit your environment.

Thanx for the reply, Roady. The server is the optimal solution, but SBS cost
is high for an office w/ 2 employees, 2 computers and 2 mobiles. The
workaround I posted did not work suitably. We've been down the 3rd party app
road, paid good money for poorly coded apps that crash and lock my data into
proprietary formats. In fact, I spent Saturday extracting for migration to
Outlook.(sure the  12k eml's was just time consuming, the 8 years of
appointments & 400 vcards w/ nicknames in quotes was just  painful).

I know I can always pay more, but I'll be building an Apache this weekend
instead.
