Synching OneNote 2003 Attachments

[Dave Nickason [SBS MVP]]

I have a user who uses OneNote 2007 from a desktop, laptop, and tablet PC to
access notebooks stored on a server. In OneNote 2003, attachments like Word
docs and PDFs were stored separately in the same directory as the notebook,
unlike OneNote 2007, which stores them in the notebook itself. Whether the
user is attached to the network or not, he can access attached files that
were added since he upgraded to 2007, but those added while running OneNote
2003 are not available offline.

He syncs the notebooks using the built-in synchronization feature of
OneNote, so my question is, if I have him enable offline files for the
directory containing all this data, will he have conflicts between OneNote
sync and Windows offline files? It seems like having two separate methods
of synching the notebooks would lead to problems.

Thanks!

One should never combine Onenote's synching with another synching
method. That would be searching for trouble.

I'm afraid you'll have to bite the bullet and and re-integrate your 2003
documents into the ON 2007 notebooks.

Thanks. I was afraid of that, but it's the best solution in the long run
anyway.

I agree. I would do it myself, in your situation.
