I have shared some contacts with my staff in various contacts folders i.e. i
have a contacts folder that only my secratery and I use and another folder
that other member of my staff and I can use and another that everyone can use
etc. I want all of my staff to be able to use the "search address book
feature on outlook". I have microsoft exchange on all computer with Office
2007. I can go to my contacts, right click on the relevant contacts folder,
click properties, click the outlook address book tab and then tick "share
this folder as an email address book. However, on all my other staffs
computers, the Outlook Address Book tab does not appear let alone the check
box. I have set all their permissions to publishing editors. Any help would
be much appreciated.

Each of the people that wich to use the shared folder must click on "Open
Shared Contacts" withn their Contact group, then locate the shared folder for
it to appear.

The shared folders appear in "My Contacts". When I click open shared folder,
however, I can not locate any of the shared folders within any of the contact
groups on any computer other than in my office. What am I doing wrong? Help
please!!!

I am also having that same issue in our organization. We have users that
want to share contacts and be able to see it in the list in the Global
Address Book like they do for their own contacts. Please HELP!!

Additionally (and perhaps this is the wrong forum to post this in but anyway)
how can I make all of the shared folders syncronise via activesync with my
PDA?

Clearly the GAL can contain only those people in your Active Directory.
Shared contacts simply don't appear in Active Directory. Moreover, a
person's contacts don't appear in the GAL either. They may appear in the
Outlook Address Book, but not the GAL, as you claim.

Great. So what is the solution then?
