570.4Keep the PAB on a network file shareTHEBAY::WIEGLEBVoracious schools of lottery girlsWed Mar 26 1997 22:115
    I keep my PAB and my PST on a network file share so I can easily get at
    it whether logged in from home on my laptop, from my NT system in the
    office of anywhere else.

    	Oh, great ... this means I have to move the .pst file again??

    	I don't have NT4.0 at work yet, but I will soon, and will have
    	Exchange loaded soon thereafter ... and then I'll have to have
    	a .pab and .pst file that's accessible from both places.

	If you go to Outlook, your Contacts folder can replace 99% of
	the functionality of the PAB. This allows the information to
	remain on the Exchange Server (the Contacts address book is just
	another folder in your mailbox) and allows replication of the
	Contacts folder via offline replication.

	If the PAB is on a network share and your desktop system has
	it open, you're not going to be able to open from another
	system. 

	I really like the Contacts folder approach. It's alot more
	sensible. The only snigglet is that distribution lists are
	more difficult to do with Outlook. I use a PAB for that.

    Re .7, i too have my .PAB and .SCD in My Briefcase.  The only pain in
    the neck is to have to close down my other Exchange sessions (some time
    on 3 different NT systems on my desk and lab benches) before i can sync
    them.  Other than that, the arrangement is in deed quite satisfactory.

re .6 but don't forget, you can't keep personal distribution
lists in Contacts you must use a PAB...

Per your quote above, it is not only difficult, it is impossible to do 
distribution lists without a PAB...per Outlook Help file.

RE: .11

	No, there IS a way, it's just a hack and a hassle. See the
	Outlook FAQ at http://outlook.useast.net/outlook/
