Shared Contacts
 

Forgive me if the answer to this has already been posted somewhere but
I cannot seem to find it.
I need some help trying to organise contacts on a 2 user PC using
outlook. Here is the situation:
On a Vista PC there are two different users which need to use the same
contacts. The tricky thing is that each user has a different identity
in outlook i.e. user 1 = personal, user 2 = work. User 2 wants to have
the same contacts as user 1.
Is this possible without having to manually export and import csv
files between the two user profiles?

Thanks in advance for any help :0)

Hard to say as you didn't include any specific configuration details.
Version of Outlook?
Type of mail account?
Do you mean different mail profiles or different user accounts?

Ah right so here are the specific details:

Version of Outlook? ---- 2003 (but have 07 version if needed)
Type of mail account?--- both are POP3
Do you mean different mail profiles or different user accounts? --- Different user accounts (on the same PC) with different email accounts wanting to share contacts.
I know that all the contact details are kept in the pst file for each
outlook user, but is there a way to have the contact details shared
without using the same outlook pst file?

Only with third-party software.
