Thank you Ilya and Rainald!
So far things have gone smoothly as I have gotten great advice from you
folks on this message board.
Can I assume once these above mentioned changes are in place and the
notebooks designated as shared that I can install OneNote on a laptop within
the network and it can access the notebooks??
If I move the notebooks to a "safe" location but for some reason lose the
cache files will OneNote recreate the cache files upon reopening the
notebooks?
Thank you
