Default Sharing a contact list via sharepoint and outlook 2007

I was able to update a sharepoint contact list by importing the contact list from sharepoint into Outlook.
I used the folder view in outlook to open my contacts and select the ones I needed to add. Then I just did a "drag and drop" to move the selected contacts from outlook into the sharepoint contact folder.

Sharing Contacts between Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003

Our company uses Exchange and a mixed group of Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007
users.

How can I share a Contacts folder that is not my main Contacts folder?

If I create a subfolder and send a Share Invitation to an Outlook 2003 user
they are unable to open the Contacts folder regardless of what permissions I
provide them (even Owner persmissions). They can see the folder but cannot
see the contacts. See KB:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b/237825/en-us

We followed the instructions to no avail.

So then I tried to create a shared contacts folder in Windows Sharepoint
Services 2.0. Well, it seems that I am unable to import contact into WSS
2.0. I can link to the contacts folder but I would have to enter all of the
contacts manually.

So, my question is: What is the best way to share a contact list between
Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003 users? A list where either type of user can
view, add, modify etc.
