Default 4 Profiles but I want ONE contact book

Using outlook 2003, on a stand alone PC (no exchange server) and I have 4
different profiles but each has it's own contact address book.

I would like to have my 4 profiles to use the same Contact address, and when
i'm in either profile and add a new contact in the address book, it becomes
accessible to all of the other profile accounts.

thanks

You could try using the same PST file under each profile but then all the
mail would be available to each profile also.

Hi

This solution isn't viable for me as I need the different profiles to be
kept independant of each other.

There must be a way to have the contacts "Sharable" among the different
profiles?

What makes you think there "must" be a way?

Another alternative is to copy the contacts to a separate PST and open that
PST in each of the profiles. You'll have to keep that folder up to date
manually or purchase a tool that will syncronize the two folders (i.e., the
default Contacts and the copy in the extra PST).
