Default shared contacts

Hi

I wanted to share my contacts list i newly created in a new contact folder
called "New Contacts". I have granted the necessary people to access but no
avail. I don't want to use my default "Contacts" to share out. Is there any
way around this? Thanks.

Default shared contacts

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HA011134811033

Who said anything about people being able to view your Contacts folder? The steps you need to follow are as I outlined earlier. I'd suggest you actually try them.
