Default Shared Contacts and Email Adrress Book

How do I use a shared contacts (froma a different users mailbox) folder as
one of my email address books? I know about going to the properties tab for
that contact folder and selecting use this as an address book, but that
option is not avaible under a shared contact folder.Any ideas?

Can you & the other person put the shared contacts into a Public Folder
which you can then use as an address book?

The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address =
book display is somewhat involved. You will need to be able to create -- =
at least temporarily -- an Outlook profile that opens another user's =
mailbox as the primary mailbox. Proceed with these steps while logged in =
under your own Windows account, not the other user's:

1. Create an Outlook profile that connects directly to the other user's =
mailbox, not your own, and start Outlook with that profile.=20

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.=20

3. Close Outlook.=20

4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* (i.e. the one from =
Step 1) to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own.=20

5. Still working with the same profile, on the Advanced tab of the =
Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary =
mailbox.=20

6. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your =
Outlook Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder.=20
