what sync software do you use? Activesync only syncs one contact folder -
your default one. If you use Exchange, a public folder is good for sharing
with others, especially if you need to use it as an address book for email.

Hi,

We are 2 colleagues using Outlook 2003 at work with exchange server.

We have a lot of customers with contact details which we would like to
share.

We are synchronizing our phones with the laptops/exchange as well.

How can we set up shared contacts without sharing the main "contact" on
our
account?

If I set up a new data file with contacts it will not "synchronize" with
the
main "contact" list for my account and does not subsequently get into my
phones list.
