Shared notebook and Outlook task syncing moviegoer72 2/20/2007 3:28:18 PM I have a question about Outlook task syncing using a shared notebook in OneNote. I have a work desktop computer and a personal laptop, both running OneNote and Outlook. I organize my tasks via a shared Onenote notebook stored on my USB drive. The Notebook syncing works fine, but the tasks flagged for Outlook do not sync from one computer to the other. That is to say... if i create a task in Onenote on my work computer, flag it as an Outlook task, it will show up in my Outlook on that work computer. I then sync the notebook to my USB drive, go home and sync the notebook on my laptop. Now on my laptop the task notebook shows up with flagged tasks, however the flags are slightly greyed out and when i mouse over then i get a "task not yet found in Outlook" and these tasks do not show up in my laptop's Outlook. I assume there is no way around this... but thought i would ask. It would be great to be able to keep both my desktop and laptop Outlook up to date with my shared OneNote task notebook. Any suggestions?

There are focussed applications that would synch Outlook tasks. Microsoft wants to force you to get Exchange server that would do this for you but many applications get rid of the need for Exchange server ... look on this list ... http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm or google : outlook task synch FYI, this software would synch the tasks but might not synch the Outlook<-->OneNote links.

Re: Shared notebook and Outlook task syncing "Daniel Escapa [MS]" <notreal[ at ]microsoft.com> 2/23/2007 2:01:29 AM I know we did a bunch of work to get this working but I guess there were some gaps. I know if both machines are joined to the main mail server (via Exchange for example) I believe they get the same GUID for the mailbox so you can map to them on both machines. That is the problem on your machine, the tasks aren't syncing to both computers. Once you get that working it should be fine...once you create a flagged note (aka on Outlook task) that task lives in Outlook and we depend on Outlook to keep track of it. Make sense?
