What kind of shared folder? Is it a Public Folders folder or a folder in
someone's mailbox?

Default How to create a distribution list from a shared contacts folde

I have a similar question in Outlook 2003. The contacts are from another
user's mailbox for whom the user is a delegate. When creating a distribution
list, the only options are to use the current user's contacts (a populated
and a completely empty "Contacts", the global address book, then a series of
"all" contact lists). The delegate contact lists show up as "Other Contacts"
in the left pane, but do not show up in the distribution list creation
window. Thank you for your help!
