The Contact folder is in a Public Folder. When we make changes to the
contacts in this folder, everyone sees the changes.

I went to each person's computer and set the folders for the activities to
search. But as with my computer, the options I set disappear.

What you are describing is the Properties dialog for the folder.

We all work on the same list of contacts in our office.

What exactly do you mean by that? Are you all using the same Exchange
mailbox? Is this a folder named Contacts that resides in a public folder?
These are important details, because only the folder owner can make a
permanent change to the Activities groups for a folder.

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.
