Copying the live data of sharepoint list from one site to another site using OOB

Question

HI All,

I want to copy a sharepoint list which is in one site to another site. If any new data is entered in the 1st site sharepoint list, it should be automatically reflected in the 2nd site sharepoint list. Is it possible with OOB without using any designer and Programming.

Thanks & Regards,
Kishore

Hi!The OOB workflows in SharePoint can only copy items within the site. For you issue  it is more likely to use Sharepoint  designer workflow, for information you can use these links:

Kishore,

Can't be done out of the box I'm afraid but why replicate the data?  Take a read of this tutorial by George Khalil about using the DataView Webpart to display the information across sites.
