Outlook 2007 ... in a window, for example, showing the business card view...I
right click on the bar above the contacts that says Contacts and has the
search feature. When I right click I select Properties ... I then select the
activities tab ... in that tab are a list of options on the right side ...
email, contact, calendar and tasks, journal... if I select one of these and
click modify I am able to assign folders that will be checked for each of
these areas (email, etc). I then click okay and it closes. When I go back
the next day, those folders I assigned it to check are blank except for the
calendar and tasks and contacts. So I have to reset the email, journal. Why
is it not saving my modifications?

Our contacts are on an exchange server. We all work on the same list of
contacts in our office. Our email is on an exchange server. All the
calendars are shared but any item linked to a contact is specific to that
computer, not the server.

Hope this clarifies the question.

By "contacts property window," do you mean the Properties dialog for your own
default Contacts folder? Is that folder in an Exchange mailbox or .pst file?
Outlook version?

I think the Apply button is active only if you've changed the default
Activities view.

Outlook 2007 ... going to the contacts property windo (contact, right click,
properties, activities tab) ..

When I open the Activities tab and modify the folders to be searched for
each area (email, conacts, etc) I am only able to click Okay ... not Apply.
So, when I check a few days later under this same Activities tab the
modification for email, journal, and all items have disappeared and the
folder column is empty for those items.

Why don't my modifications stay for all the areas and why can't I select
Apply?

Thanks
