The Activities page of a public contacts folder is very limited in use. About all you can do with it is make one activities group for each *public* folder that contains data you want to track. It's not practical to use it to track data in users' mailbox folders.

" wrote in message ...
I can create an appointment with a contact in my local contact folder.
However, if I select a contact in the public folder it does not show on the
activities of the contact.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
