Micrsoft isn't the enemy here - there is copious amounts of documentation
out there. Why doesn't your company employ someone who has the skills to
deal with these issues. This issue isn't just a technology issue - its
mostly a people issue! Anyway, I'll give you a couple of tips:

(i) its sounds like you should be using Public Folders to achieve what you
want
(ii) to make your new Contacts folder viewable, right click it, select
Properties/Outlook Address Book and tick the box

Hello,

I have many distribution lists set up and would like to share them between
myself and several co-workers. This way if one person makes an update,
that
update automatically shows up on everyone's computer.

I think I have figured out how to share a contact list, but now I need to
figure out how to address an e-mail to that contact list.
I normally click the "To" button, which pops up the "Select Names" box.
Then
I use the drop down menu to select my contact list, which then shows all
my
separate distribution lists. I cannot figure out how to make my shared
contacts or "Other Contacts" (as they are listed in the Contacts tab),
show
up when addressing an email.

Sharing contacts seems like it would be a common issue - I am suprised
that
Microsoft does not have better documentation/instructions on how to
accomplish this type of task.

FYI - our company uses the Exchange Server
Thank You!
