Sharing Outlook Contacts and E-mail folder on Exchange Server

[Guest]

I have to appologize as I may ramble on this one. I am not totally sure of
the correct terminology, but will try not to confuse the terms. I am
currently using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Pro.

I want to be able to designate a global contacts (folder?) for company use.
This folder would be accessed by everyone in the office and would only
contain office related contacts and e-mail addresses.

Is there a way to set up that "global" list so that my personal contact
folder and e-mails are not available to everyone on the server?

I guess I am confused as on server set-up a (Global Contact List) was auto
created by the server/outlook that contained all of our office e-mail
addresses, but I am not able to open that listing and add to it.

Can anyone give me the newbie understanding of this and what I need to do to
create new or use that Global Address list?

Thank you,

John

The "Global address list" is enabled on a exchange server environment, do
you use exchange server in your office ??

Yes, sorry. I meant to mention that in my initial e-mail.

The problem is that I do not seem to be able to "add" items to the global
address list.

We are individually using the "contacts" folder choice.

All I want to do is add new contacts/e-mail addresses to that global address
list. So that everyone can "see" and "use" items from that list instead of
"sharing" my personal list.

Thank you

I want to so the same thing kinda..

At work we have a Global Contact Address Book that includes every employee
worldwide 1000+, but locally we need a List of Contacts that we can
add and delete our clients.

Can this be done? we have share hard drive that is located in our IT Room

Thanks !

It sounds like what you want is a folder in the Public Folders hierarchy to store contact items.
