Sending Email Using Shared Contacts
User is on Exchange and uses Outlook 2003. We have shared her boss' contacts
to her but she doesnt get the options from the address box to uses these contacts. We have set her permissions level to 'owner'. She can see the contacts fine, but how can she take advantage of the shared feature. When I view the properties of the shared contacts I dont have the OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK tab to check 'show the contacts in the address book'. --

Sending Email Using Shared Contacts
The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address book display is somewhat involved. You will need to be able to create -- at least temporarily -- an Outlook profile that opens another user's mailbox as the primary mailbox. Proceed with these steps while logged in under your own Windows account, not the other user's:
1. Create an Outlook profile that connects directly to the other user's mailbox, not your own, and start Outlook with that profile. 2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts. 3. Close Outlook. 4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* (i.e. the one from Step 1) to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own. 5. Still working with the same profile, on the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox. 6. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "WSW" wrote in message ...
