Adding a shared contacts folder as an Outlook Address Boook
I have access to another persons contacts and (for email purposes) want to
access these (shared) contacts via an outlook address book. I have seen the instructions provided in response to other postings on this topic. I have followed them (closely!) and they do not work for me. 1. I can create a profile and start O2003; then rename the display name, before closing Outlook 2. Then I go into the Control Panel; User accounts; Mail; Show Profiles and change the user 3. I then click on More Settings; Advanced tab and add the secondary mailbox. 4. However when I restart Outlook the list is not displayed as an Outlook Address Book Is there any other instructions or alternative solutions available on how I can display shared contacts as an Outlook Address Book in its own right? Thanks in advance !

The instruction provided have worked for many other people. Show Profiles shouldn't be involved at all, because all the operations should be taking place inside the default mail profile. Maybe you should try again.

Adding a shared contacts folder as an Outlook Address Boook
Hi Sue, thanks for your quick reply. I am trying the steps again.
When I go to the Control Panel/Mail - I get 3 options Email Accounts, Data Files or Show Profiles. So do I click on Email Accounts?and if so then what? Thanks for your help and patience, it is greatly appreciated. Emma "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: The instruction provided have worked for many other people.

Email Accounts will get you into the settings for your current profile. If you want to set up a new profile or modify a different profile, use Show Profiles, pick the profile and use its Email Accounts. Just remember that all the operations involved need to take place in the same profile. If you do half the steps in profile A, then the other half in profile B, you haven't accomplished anything.

Adding a shared contacts folder as an Outlook Address Boook
Well Sue it worked :-) Thanks for your help.
I just wanted to ask you one more thing ... obviously now I have 2 profiles (my exisiting Default Outlook profile and the new one I just created.) Should I just delete my old Default Outlook profile and rename the profile I just created to be my new default?

Hooray! There's no need to delete the old profile or rename the new one (not that you could rename a profile). Just designate the new one your default.
