Re: shared notebook

One more thing to add...
OneNote 2007 can even "sort of" create a shared notebook in the webDAV
space.. (which I do by Share>Create Shared Notebook...)

But as soon as it creates it, it bombs out saying that it cannot access the
notebook. That's a clear sign that something's not right with OneNote's
interface with webDAV folders, since it creates a shared folder "halfway".

If someone knowledgeable could help me, I would really appreciate that!
It's kind of embarrassing for me, because I just got 10 people in my class to
download a trial version of OneNote 2007 promising them a remote way of
working on our common project together, and they are all waiting on me to see
if I can pull through with my grand promise!
