sharing contacts

[GaryK]

I can share my contacts, thats easy. But the person I
share with wants the contact list to appear in his list
of address books. Since I am doing the sharing he doesnt
have the tab to make contacts visible as an address book.

The only thing I can think of is to create a address book
on his and copy my shared contacts. Is there a better
way ?

This is using Outlook 2k3/Exchange 2003

TIA

The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address
book display is somewhat involved:

1. Start with a profile that logs directly onto the other user's mailbox,
not your own.

2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure
that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display
name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts.

3. Close Outlook.

4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* to change the mailbox
from the other user's to your own. On the Advanced tab of the Exchange
Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.

5. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook
Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder.
