Two users sharing one contacts folder?

[james]

There are two of us using this computer and so we have
two accounts in XP and each run our own Outlook.

We would like to use the same contacts folder but each
keep our own inbox, calendar, etc. ect.

Any suggestions on how to set this up? First how do we
merge our now separate contacts and then how do we each
use the same folder?

Thanks,

You can't use the same contacts "file". The contacts in outlook are stored
in the file outlook.pst. This file stores everything for outlook: inbox,
outbox, sent, contacts, calendar, tasks, journals, all emails... etc..
everything. The contacts aren't a separate file for you to share. You can
either share the whole outlook.pst file or have separate outlook .pst files
and just enter in your contacts manually in each user.
