I see. I take it then you are a standalone user using a local data file, not
using an Exchange Server mailbox. It's still not clear what you did.
Contacts do not exist as a separate file, they are simply one folder in your
Outlook data file (PST file). So what did you move to shared folders? You'd
need to move your entire Outlook data file to a shared location and then set
each Outlook profile to use that file as its default information store.

I am now officially told off, sorry but I am new to all this.
I have outlook 2003, the shared folder is the folder that is used if you
want to transfer information (i.e photographs or documents) between users
(who have their own personnal settings)using the same computor. Don`t know
what you mean by information store. I wish to be able to transfer or gain
access to contacts list and calendar for other users in their section.
Hope
this is a little clearer.

thanks

You have posted no information. Outlook version, information store and
what
you mean by "shared folder" would seem a minimum you should have posted.
We
can't read minds.

How do I share my contacts with other users on the same computor. I
have
tried moving them into the shared folder but this seems to just move
the
shortcut and no actual information????
