Is there a reason you don't want to use Exchange Server? The only reason
Outlook exists is to be the client for Exchange Server. Anything else
Outlook might try to do is a poorly implemented afterthought.

Hi
Outlook Support Newbie Alert. Please be gentle...

I am running multiple standalone instances of Outlook 2003 on WinXP Pro. I
want to have a central/server contacts list that includes distribution
lists maintained by an administrator.

Is there a way to do this without installing new software?
Cheers
Alec
