I am trying to share certain of my Outlook folders with a co-worker using
permissions. The "Help" for sharing with permissions instructs me to
right-click on the folder I wish to share, select "Properties", and then
click the "Permissions" tab. The problem is, there is no "Permissions" tab!
Likewise, if I try to give permission to someone as a delegate, the "Help"
instructs me to go to "Tools - Options - Delegates". However, there is no
"delegates" tab!

Is this a feature that I need to separately install? How do I activate
sharing capability?

I am a user of Outlook 2002 on a Win XP OS. The person to whom I wish to
give permissions is a user of Outlook 2000 on a Win XP OS.

Sounds like you are either trying to share a folder in a Personal Folders
.pst file or are not working in an Exchange environment. If either is the
case, no sharing is built into Outlook. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm for solutions.
