I have a slightly different reason for wanting to share a single database. I
want to set up Outlook on my desktop PC and on my notebook both with
SpamBayes. I would like to have the database on the desktop PC which is
always connected to the network and switched on. When I plug in the notebook
I would like to be able to access my Outlook mail and have it filtered by
SpamBayes. I would like to be able to use the same database for both, so I'm
always using the latest one, and whichever PC I use to read my mail any
incremental training that takes place goes into the master database.

I'm guessing that so long as I ensure that I only have Outlook open on one
PC at a time, this will work fine. But this is a nuisance. I would really
like to be able to have Outlook open on both at once. If there's no file or
record locking, this seems fraught with risks. 

Does anyone have any more details on what if any locking SpamBayes does? If
none, could this be added?

Many thanks - Rowan
