Hi, I am a new user of OneNote 2007 and am attempting to set a shared
Notebook. I am a research assistant at my law school and I want to set up a
system whereby we both can have access and contribute to one Notebook. My
prof will mostly access it on the school's network, and I will mostly
contribute to the Notebook from my home network. Can someone please guide me
on how to arrange and set up such a notebook. Thanks.

Menu: Share-Created Shared Notebook...
Follow the prompts, use the OneNote help, any problems just post back.

I take the liberty to disagree.
This does not cover the scenario as the OP wants to use the notebook
from his home network and the prof from the school's network.
This would need storage on some server reachable from both ends, in the
case of the OP most probably via the internet.
This is anything but trivial.

I am using onenote in a similar situation and i have found a great solution,
Windows Live Mesh. I am sharing a notebook through the internet with this
program and it works great and is free. It is a beta technology but i think
its here to stay. Post back with any questions on setup.

Hi - I want to thank everyone for their responses. I set up a Windows Live
Folder Share - it works great and updates in real time when both users are
connected, but if we both make changes to the same thing, my OneNote will
create a new section, and I cannot figure out how to merge the original with
the new one. But it does work great if only 1 person wants to make changes
and send it over to another user via the internet.

Any help with the new issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The section duplication is unfortunately unavoidable due to how OneNote
and FolderShare work with files. Unfortunately there is no easy way to
merge the pages from the two sections - you'd have to go through all the
pages and merge them by hand.
To avoid this problem you'd need a server that both computers can
access, such as a SharePoint server accessible over the internet. Ask
your school's networking people - they might be able to set something up.
