Outlook address book and Word macro

[DonnaB]

A co-worker is using Word XP and Outlook 2007. She is French speaking so I
am requesting information on her behalf.

We have recently changed access to read-only rights for the majority of our
employees using shared address lists in Outlook 2007 (with Exchange). This
was done to avoid errors in the address books.

Now her Word macros cannot access the shared address lists. She has created
buttons in .dot files that several employees use to open a window identical
to Outlook Tools, Address Book. When they click a contact from this shared
address book then click OK, the information is placed throughout the document
with the help of bookmarks. Can this same function be used without having to
change the access lists for more complete access? She said that her macro
has not worked since she changed access type to read-only.

I will post this in both Outlook and Word forums. Any help or suggestions
are appreciated.

the macro shouldn't need write access - test it with one of the lists and
different permissions to see if it starts working. if so, you'll know its
permissions. If not, its something else.
