sharing business contacts 07 Amber 6/1/2007 6:37:02 PM I have Outlook 07 w/ the BC Manager. I'd like to be able to share and allow editing capabilities for the Accounts and Contacts. I know there is a way to do this in a network, but we are not in a network. Is there a way to do this remotely? Amber

Just setup the PC that holds your "master" BCM database (or the router that connects to your DSL or high speed connection) to allow VPN connections. Then, each remote person can sync at will by logging on to the VPN, opening BCM, and telling it to go Online. BCM will find the master, sync up, and you can then disconnect. All the changes from the other users will sync to your laptop and vice versa.
