Vista - RE: Messing Up OneNote Notebooks

08-12-2008

I suggest posting in the OneNote newsgroup about this issue. FolderShare
isn't going to work well for synchronizing OneNote notebooks because OneNote
has its own synchronization technology built in. Basically, you need to have
one system be the authoritative OneNote notebook(s) location, and the
instances of OneNote on other PCs that use the notebook(s) cache the
notebooks (in a different location than the OneNotes location under your
documents folder, by the way).

In order to synchronize OneNote notebooks over the Internet you need to do
one of two things, do something that breaks the OneNotes synchronizing
technology (I do it, but it's very complex and beyond the scope of a newgroup
thread discussion.) or set up something like a VPN connection among the PCs
that use the notebook(s). You could do that using something easy like LogMeIn
Hamachi.

There are folks in the OneNotes forum who can steer you in the right
direction.

Groove works, too, if you have it -- provided you're not simultaneously
editing the same onenote file in more than one place.
