The Outlook address book does not even exist. Care to clarify your question?
Feel free to include such basic information Outlook version, mail transport
type and what type of network you are using.

Point taken.

Microsoft Outlook 07

Mail transport ? POP3 if that's what you're refering to, but that is
unlikely as I don't think that affects the address book files.

The network is just a basic private network conisisting of a LAN set up
running two office PC's run through a Dlink switch.

We're running Vista Basic as an OS.

Outlook was not designed for that scenario and provides no options for what
you want. It was designed to be the client for Exchange server. If you
aren't running Exchange Server, Outlook may not be the mail client best
suited to your needs.

Hi Joshua,
