Help,

I have just upgraded to panther. I need to have outlook express
data(mail, address book, ect..) available in both OSX and OS 9. The
idea would be to share the data folder without doing any type of
synconization. dose any one have any information that could eather
help or varify that this can not be done. Open for any suggestions
any of you may be willing to offer.

Classic OS usually keeps its Identities folder here...

1) Mac HD:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Identities:

OS X prefers to look for its Identities folder here...

2) Mac HD:Users:[your user]:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Identities:

So, if you make an alias of pathway (1) and put it into pathway (2), then
you should be able to share the data. I've tried this pre-Panther and it
worked fine. Give it a whirl.
