Address Book and Shared Contacts
I currently use Outlook 2003 on an Exchange Server. I have shared a contact
folder that I have on the server with a co-worker. She can view the contacts but she can not use them as an Outlook Address Book. When she looks at the properties of the folder the “Outlook Address Book” tab is missing. Since we are not allowed to use public folders in our company – is there a way to fix this so she can use the shared contact list as an Outlook Address Book to send email from? I found this link http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/ol...m#displayother but I don't know how to do #1. Has anyone tried this method? |

Address Book and Shared Contacts
I also don't know how to do #1 but know a good way to send emails to the
Contacts in that Folder. Just Select the Contacts you want to email and drag them to the Sent items folder. Let go. All of those Contacts are now in the To... field of a new email. You can drag them to the BCC field. -- Here are some tips about how to post questions: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=555375 Regards Judy Gleeson MVP Outlook Trainer and Consultant There are various articles about using Outlook he www.judygleeson.com Canberra, Australia "What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?"

Address Book and Shared Contacts
I tried changing the profiles and it worked for most of the computers in our
office. I have one laptop that shows the Outlook Address Book tab but it's shaded out. Any thoughts on why?

That means the Outlook Address Book service is not correctly defined in the mail profile. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
