MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005How can ONE Outlook address book (or contacts) be shared?
I am running Windows XP Home Edition, and have two separate users set up -- one for me and one for my wife. I have set up Outlook for both users, and can successfully send/receive e-mails from Hotmail. However, I am having difficulty in getting the CONTACTS to be shared between the two users. We both want to have the SAME contacts in Outlook. Thanks! You need to post your Outlook version, not your operating system. Are you sure you're talking about Outlook?

Here's the jist: There are two users of my computer, which runs Windows XP Home Edition v2002 SP2. We have separate logins to the computer, so that user separate settings/preferences can be maintained. The computer is non-networked, and we use a dial-up connection to connect to the internet. Say I log into the computer under my user ID. I launch Outlook, which contains my e-mail, my calendar, my contacts, etc. I have had no problem setting up Outlook for my use. If my wife logs into the computer with her user ID, she can launch Outlook as well, which has ONLY her e-mail, her calendar, and her contacts. I have had no problem setting up here Outlook account either. Note there is NOTHING similar between our two Outlook accounts. My question is -- we use separate e-mail accounts, but want to share the SAME Contacts (i.e., Address Book). How can I set the Contacts folders on our Outlook accounts to be shared between us? > You need to post your Outlook version, not your operating system. > Are you sure you're talking about Outlook?

Have you both installed the Outlook Connector? SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I am running MS Office 2003 (for Small Business), which includes MS Outlook > 2003 v11.5608.5606.

We only use the Hotmail service to send/receive e-mail. What I'm looking for is a way to share the Contacts folder (a local file on the computer) between two Outlook users WITHOUT having to sync with some sort of on-line service. > But you said your mail account type was hotmail.

Then why don't you create and use the same Outlook Data File PST file in each profile?
