Microsoft outlook networking help?

I'm a secretary for a lawyer who has two computers on a network. He mainly uses one of the computers, and has Outlook installed on the other, which he uses all the time. He has been asking me to try to set things up so that he can access the same Outlook files (his calendar, journal, contacts, etc.) on both computers. It seems to me that the only way to do this would be to make one of the computers a server, which I don't know how to do. Does anyone have any ideas that might help me? Thanks a lot for trying!!! :p

Okay, one of the computers has Outlook 2000, and the other (the one with most of the information we need) has Outlook 97. I can see how to reference a PST file in 2000, but I can't find the file used by 97, nor can I figure out how to reference a particular file in 97. I do feel like I'm getting somewhere though, can anyone help me further? Thanks so much!
