Default How to Create a PAB?

No good options, including creating a PAB. PAB's are an old ANSI store no
longer supported by Outlook.
On this site is an article on various ways to share Outlook data:

You will also find a list of third-party sharing tools:

I am trying to create a common address book for users who run MS
Outlook 2003 in a Unix environment using Citrix Metaframe.
Unfortunately running an Exchange server is not an option. The Outlook
clients are set up to connect (POP3) to the Unix hosted mail server to
retrieve/send mail.

What we were thinking of doing is to create a PAB in a shared directory
and have all users setup Outlook to lookup addresses in the centralized
PAB - we do not want to run around and update all the contacts folders
for the individual users.

We had one ambitious users who created a LARGE (1000+) address Contact
folder and we would like to export that into a form that could be
easily imported/used to create the PAB. Since it is so large it would
take too much time to hand jam in all the new addresses into the PAB.

Recommendations?

Suggestions?

How can we create a PAB with a CSV file?



Thanks in advance,
Mike
