I have a very small network consisting of only two computers - a docked
laptop and an desktop.
I have been told that MS Outlook requires a server to run. That is the
reason why I use MS Mail and MS Schedule+ now.

But I really want to use MS Outlook as it seems much more efficient in
combination with Windows 95 and new versions of Office.

I would like to use the MS Outlook for: - two shared calendars with
direct access from both computers - sending mails between the computers -
shared notes and adress books for external adresses and telephone numbers
 etc., and all the other Outlook facilities.

Is there a simple way to make the desktop to be considered as both a
computer for user no.1  - and as a server and solve the problem in that
way.?

It could be a partition of the hard disk, but it is not so simple and will
it work?

Maybe my information is wrong and I only need to set the program in the
right way.

I would be very glad if anybody could help me.

Thank you in advance.

Knud Beer
