We do NOT use Microsoft Exchange Servers for email, and email server is at
corporate anyway. We use Office 2003.

What I looking for is a LOCAL way to emulate the Microsoft Exchange function
of ADDING a Contact Group to a user's Outlook Contacts.

Hopefully a click on file method.

Post is too unclear. State your mail account type. Define your unique terms
such as "Contact Group." Outlook uses no such term so we have no idea what
you mean by it. Clarify what function it is you want to "emulate."

You mean to share contacts with the other users? You'll need a utility that
supports sharing. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.asp

OK, use wrong term. I meant Distribution List.

Not exactly. We want to publish & import a Distribution List (use wrong term
in original post) just like you can do via a MS Exchange Server. The problem
is our corporate does NOT use a MS Exchange Server.

Still requires someone to read your mind. Post is patently unclear.

You can't share anything easily without exchange, but you can send DL around
to other users. Try can drag it off the email and drop it in their contacts.

Thanks, that works as far as Distribution Lists.

But, I'm trying to satisfy a request form a user, which I am not sure I can
do without MS Exchange.

The user wants a way to update her Outlook Contacts buy loading a file. A
way that does NOT evolve manually changing individual Contacts.

Our problem is, we have a series of people that are forced to change their
email provider, so their email address domain will change. She thinks we
should be able to provide a way for everyone to update these users email
automatically.

I stress, I'm not sure we can do this, but I promised I would look for an
answer.
