Shared contacts as Outlook Address Book

[Jim Walsh]

We have a group of computers/users running Outlook 2003 with accounts setup
as Microsoft Exchange Server accounts. We have set up one account to share
its contacts folder.

Each member of our group can see the shared contacts in their version of
Outlook, under Other Contacts. We now want to be able to use that shared
contacts folder as an Outlook Address Book.

The procedure for this is for each user to right click on the shared
contacts folder, select properties, and then the Outlook Address Book tab.
However, the dialog box we get only shows three tabs: General, Home Page,
and Summary. The Outlook Address Book tab is not there.

Help!

Thanks,
Jim

What you want can be achieved but its fiddly and annoying, you may want to
consider Public Folder Contacts instead. However check out
