Project Sharing

Project sharing could be sooooo useful.
We're in a small office, Mac based, we're a not for profit organisation.
We don't want to go down the Exchange Seerver route - we don't want a PC,
we're not techies and we can't afford it!

But can I get Project sharing to work? No.
I should add that I'm not a a Mac newbie - I teach Music Technology on Mac
systems and have 3 in my house on a wireless network. At work tho I need
Heeeelllpppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've tried to make this as clear as I can:

2 Mac G4 Powerbooks on 10.3.9
Entourage v 11.0.0
Step by step.......


1. Project set up on my machine called "My Diary"
Clicked on "share" and chose a location to save it......in the shared folder
on my secretary's machine..connected via ethernet.

Date Modified on folder and .rge file shows as 16:14


2. Invited her to subscribe via email and she did so. Calendar shows up in
her Project Center.

3. Added 2 events to the project calendar on my machine.

4. Waited to watch for synchronisation on my machine. - Actually I let it
happen twice. No errors reported.

5. New events appear in her calendar but Date modified and .rge files still
show 16:14

*************************************************************
** Query - shouldn't the Modification Date change? **
*************************************************************

6. Removed one of the new events and changed the length of the other new
event and the event title on my machine.

7. Waited to watch for synchronisation on my machine.

8. The event that I changed the length of and edited the title of showed up
on my secretary's machine as edited.


BUT -

*************************************************************
**Problem: The deleted event wasn't deleted on my secretary's machine **
*************************************************************

9. Edited the length and title of an event on my machine.

10. Waited to watch for synchronisation on my machine.

11. The event that I changed the length of and edited the title of showed up
on my secretary's machine as edited.

12. Deleted the event that was successfully showing up as edited.

13. Waited to watch for synchronisation on my machine.

14. The event I deleted wasn't deleted on my secretaries machine.

**Problem: The deleted event wasn't deleted on my secretary's machine **

15. My secretary added an event into the project on her machine.

16. Waited to watch for synchronisation on my machine.

17. The event that was added on my secretary's machine doesn't show on mine/
