Here is my scenario. My problem is with Outlook 2007 (connecting to an
exchange server) on 3 users machines. All running XP Pro. User 1 shares his
contacts with users 2 & 3. Sets permission for users 2 & 3 to "publishing
editor" so that they may edit his contacts. User 2 opens the shared contacts,
sees a screen that is labeled "User 1 - Contacts" and sees all contacts fine.
User 3 opens shared contacts, sees a screen that says "User 1 Contacts -
Outlook Today". Can't see any contacts, only user 1's Outlook today info. I
have tried removing outlook from User 1 and User 3, reinstalling, resharing,
resetting permissions, exact same result. Also tried remove/reinstall this
time giving permission to user 3 before user 2, and then again with user 3
only with no permissions for user 2. No change whatsoever. I am stumped and
can't seem to find where anyone has ever duplicated this anywhere. Any
advice/direction would be most appreciated!

I'd triple-check the method User 3 is using to open the Contacts. Sounds
like they are accidentally opening the wrong folder.

Are you 100% sure you have permissions correct? The outlook today page
shouldn't be visible by other users.
