Default Public Folder Contacts not appearing

Hello,

I am trying to get a Public Folder Contact list to behave in a certain
way.

We have Exchange 2003 w/sp1, all clients running Ooutlook 2003 w/SP1

I can see all of the contacts within the /Public Folder/All Public
Folders/ hierarchy, let's call it "Shipping Contacts". There are 55
contacts listed within.

Now when a user wants to send an e-mail to one of these contacts they
need to be able to:
-open a new email
-click "To"
-Click the dropdown arrow under "Show names from the" and select
"Public Folders"

Nothing shows up here. I want the contacts listed within the "Shipping
Contacts" list to show up so they can select any users they wish.

A user created this Public Folder Contact list, so I am not sure what
needs to be tweaked to allow this to happen.
Thanks!

Dear Gabriel,

Addressbook, select "show this folder as Outlook Addressbook".

Hmm, if I try to make this change from within Outlook, that option is
greyed out. I have "author rights" on the folder. Shouldnt I be able
to change it?

Dear Thorn,

is your Outlook Addressboook available in the Outlook directories?

Please have a look on this site and check the general settings for your
Outlook Addressbook:
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oloab.htm

After you are sure that your Outlook Adressboock is available in the Outlook
services, try my last posting again, but pleasse read at first read the
slipstick information.
