Purpose of Contacts button on General Tab

[Howard]

A have a few questions concerning some of the items found on the General Tab
of a Contact entry (Office Outlook 2003)

(1) In the lower left corner of the General tab window, there is a
"Contacts" button - When you click on the Contacts button, you can select a
contact(s) and that contact(s) then appears next to the Contacts button -
What is the purpose of adding said contact(s) info

(2) In the lower right corner of the General tab window, there is a
"Private" check box - What happens when you check or uncheck the "Private"
box ?

(3) There is an empty field under the display picture field where you can
type in a text note - I assume the purpose of this text field is to allow
the user to enter some notes regarding the contact ?

Thank you in advance for your replys

1. To link the Contact to others
2. To prevent other users from seeing that Contact if you are working in a
shared environment
3. Yes

Item (1)

A little more help on the Contacts button please !

Are the contacts that you would add to a particular contact card simply
other contacts that bear some kind of relationship to said particular contact
?

Maybe if you could give me an example(s) as to when you might add a contact,
I would understand the concept better

Item (2)

The shared environment is when you are using a server (Share Pont site) to
store your contacts on ?

Again, thanks for your reply

1. Yes
2. Exchange Server where you've enabled sharing of your folder with another
user.
