Outlook contacts question

[manikm]

We use Exchange 2003, and Office 2003, with Windows XP on desktops.

We have a secretary who works for one of our "partners" (Joe Bloggs).

In Outlook 2003 - Joe Blogg's contacts used to appear as an address book in her Outlook profile, so she could email HIS contacts.

I have reset up her profile due a problem she was having with something unrelated.

Since, re-setting up her profile I cannot remember for the life of me how to "show this folder as an email address book" for someone elses contacts.

Please don't tell me this can't be done, it CAN be done, i just can't remember the solution.

Please can anyone help!?

Thanks so much!

Seems like you would just need to add an address book in her local copy of Outlook, pointing to the shared contacts by the other user...

For instance... in my local Outlook 2003 app, if I go:

Tools -> Address Book

Then, in Address Book:
Tools -> Options

There is a location to add an Address List - I'm thinking that is at least part of what you are needing to do.

I have found the solution

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.
