After futzing around with various explanations, I simply ran the XP networking wizard and aside from the Vista laptop freaking initally at startup it works like a charm and I can share files between them.

Now, my question is this, both the 'tops (desk & lap) have Office 2003 on 'em, is there any way to get them to share one .pst file, to be stored on the desktop and synched whenever there are changes detected between the desktop and laptop .pst files?

I'm treating the desktop as my "data vault" (even though the laptop with the fingerprint log in is, in theory, more secure)

It's been a long time since I used O2003, but isn't there a way to go in and change the location of the specified .pst file ... simply do that for both, specifying the same location for both ... should work so long as you don't have both Outlooks open at the same time. Or was that the point?

Well, the issue is more that if I check email or update my calendar on the road and write replies, how do I merge the changes to the "home" .pst file?

How often does that happen - if it's infrequently - you could just export the modified file and then import it on the other puter - get's the job done.
