Dropbox will help take care of that for you, so it might work if you can set your addressbook to be in the drob box directory.

I do this with my 1password files and it works fine. Why not try storing the address book on dropbox.com and then pointing both user accounts to use the same dropbox files?

My husband and I both use Windows Mobile devices and while they are synced to each of our Outlooks, I never thought of syncing them to each other. One thing that has proven invaluable to us, however, is syncing our devices with facebook. Most of our friends keep Facebook and their mobile number current, it's come in handy many times!

It allows you to back-up your address book online or to transfer from 1 device to another... To sync it with the address book on my Macbook I rely on iPhone sync via iTunes, since I sync my iPhone with the cloud via funambol app. Why not give funambol a try? http://www.funambol.com/solutions/portal.php One of the benefit is that they have clients for a lot of mobile devices & desktop clients (outlook, thunderbird…).

Also you could setup Plaxo on both computers to keep it synced between the two accounts. (Backup before you try this because I haven't actually done this.)

I like the fact that everyone in the family can access the contact list, as well as the calendar. I can schedule things and specify whose calendars they appear on. I can get calendar reminders sent to my cellphone and/or email. I have groups set up for our car club and Euchre group as well. Since it's web-based (and FREE) I can access it anywhere. I love it!
