1. - Yes. Right click the Contacts Folder in the Public folders |
Properties | Outlook Address Book | check the box to show it as an Address
Book.

Now the To... field will look in that folder as will the Contacts Lookup
window in the Standard Outlook Toolbar (where it says "type a Contact to
find")

2. Not that I know of. And BTW it is not a shared directory - it's a Public
Folder with permissions set to enable multiple people to access it.

Is it possible to have Outlook2003 look to a shared contact directory in
the
public folders to autocomplete email addresses as it does by default with
addresses in the GAL?

Also, (less important) is there a way to sync or add addresses in users'
contacts folders to this shared directory automatically?
