how do i include shared subfolders in search address book?

**APYDS** · October 10th 07, 04:11 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

Recently got Microsoft Small Business Server and Office 2007. Created a
number of new shared contacts folders. Put some of my own contacts into
those shared folders so that other staff can see them as well. Problem is
that the "Search address book" search that was so helpful before now only
searches my own contacts and not the shared contacts. Anyone know of any way
to change that?

See if you can right-click the shared contacts folder, choose Properties,
select the Outlook Address Book tab and check the box labeled "Show this
folder as an e-mail Address Book".

Thanks for the message. Tried it. All it give as options if you click on
search address book are Cut, Copy and Paste. Any other ideas anyone?

Thanks. Admitted that was a really thick response by me and I should have
read what you said a lot more clearly. Apologies and thank you again.
