Hello,

I do love the capabilities of OneNote 2007. That is the only reason I've
gone through all the pain it has taken to figure out how to setup OneNote
2007 to share notebooks from Windows XP and from Vista using SharePoint
Document Libraries.

But I did get that to work pretty well apparently (only been testing it for
one day so far). It was really tricky without ANY concise documentation
about the necessary steps. It took me a long time to figure out that OneNote
2007 on Vista needs to access SharePoint via SSL (https) only. I believe
the Webdav update for Windows also helped but I'm not 100% sure now because
that was before implementing SSL on the SharePoint services I use (v2 from
www.1and1.com).

Here is the first question - can OneNote 2007 on Windows XP also use https?
I can only seem to get it to access the notebook on the SharePoint Document
library via http which means everything (notebook content and passwords) are
going in the clear?

Here is the second question - some of the machines using the notebook are a
laptop. This is offline some of the time (on the airplane for example).
I see that OneNote caches everything and it actually works just fine AS LONG
AS you keep OneNote running and do not close the Notebook. This doesn't
seem a feasible assumption though...

If you do close it, I do not find anyway to open the cached copy? The only
workaround that I have been able to figure out is to use the Notebook
Properties item on the File menu to "change location" to a folder on the
local drive. Then you can close it, open it, make changes, and when you
want to synch it with the copy on SharePoint, then you "change location"
again to the document library in SharePoint and everything synchs up.

This seems a little cumbersome though, isn't there an easier way? Why can't
you just tell OneNote 2007 to synch up a NoteBook that is on a local folder
with a copy of the Notebook on the SharePoint server without having to change
location? It is either always online or always offline if you don't change
location. Or am I missing something?

This really needs some documentation!

Thanks for any help.
