Using Outlook 2007, Exchange 2003, Windows XP SP2

I have a client list and a staff list both in a public folder - both are
contacts folders. Each item on the client list is linked to several items
from the staff list so that its activities tab displays all the staff who
work for that client. This works fine in Outlook 2003 (and earlier).

In Outlook 2007 selecting the Activities tab causes all items from the staff
list to be displayed whether they are linked to the client contact or not. Am
I missing something obvious?

this happens on every contact or just specific ones?

This happens for every contact.

I have reproduced the error on another Exchange setup with public folders.
The problem does not manifest if one is using .psts or non-public folders. I
am beginning to think that this is a bug in Outlook2007 and not my error.

I have had the exact same problem. I believe this is an OL 2007
glitch and I have not resolved it. Have you been able to get to the
bottom of this?
