contacts cannot be shared

[Guest]

The wizard will not allow me to share my contacts with other users. Am I
correct in that the actual contact has to on one coumputer only and then is
seen by the other computers on my network?
How do I share other files in the business contact area? I had conatcts
listed in Outlook 2007 with 5 differnt sub folders and would like to share
them all.

Which wizard are you referring to? BCM does not limit sharing particular
contacts or other data; either all Business Contact information is shared to
users you specify, or none is.

After you run the database sharing wizard, you are provided with
instructions on how to configure clients to connect to your shared database.
Have you had any trouble with this?

Hope this helps,
Chris

Yes, that is correct if you are sharing within a workgroup (no Small Business Server or Domain Controller). Each remote user must
have a matching account and password on the computer that is hosting the BCM database.
