Default How to setup a Shared Common Contact List?

Is is possible to set up a Common Contact List that everyone in the office
can access and add too? I also want everyone to be able to have their own
private contact list as well.

You sure left out any relevant information.
Start at the beginning. Are you using Exchange Server? If not, how else were
you proposing that you would share Outlook data?

Default How to setup a Shared Common Contact List?

I am on a share PC with Vista. The company has an webserver that is used for
all the email. Right now all my contact in my address book are on the PC and
so is everyone else's. Eventually this PC will be act as a server for all
down the road as we add more pc's for each person.

Was this supposed to mean something to me? Hard to imagine a more opaque
reply.

Are you trying to be a pain or what? All I want is to know how one can set up
a common contact list in Outlook while still having a private contact list.
First, can it be done? Second, how does one go about doing it? We do not have
an IT person around to set this up.

First you have to say whether or not you're using Exchange.

How do I determine if Exchange is being used? I did not set up the PC and I
am no familiar with Vista. My guess would be no, there is nothing in Outlook
that indicates it is being used.

For now lets assume I do not have Exchange. How do I get this and set it up
to have shared contact lists?
