How do I access public contact folder when scheduling a meeting

[Guest]

In a Microsoft SBS SERVER environment, within Outlook 2003 on a XP Pro
machine, the add public folders selection is grayed out when I try to add
others to a meeting request.

When I select Add From Address Book, Public Folders is shown as a selection,
but the subfolders are not.

Ideas?

That option will appear only on a group schedule (Actions | View Group Schedules in a calendar folder).

When I select Add From Address Book, Public Folders is shown as a selection,
but the subfolders are not.

You must check the Outlook Address Book box on the Properties dialog for each folder or subfolder that you want to display in the Outlook Address Book.
