Outlook 2003.  I am connected to a server that now has Exchange Server 2003
running.  When I display the "Folders List" in Outlook, the public folders
show.  In particular a contacts folder called "Good News Contacts" shows.  
Now my questions:

1.  When I select "Contacts" from the left hand menu in Outlook, the top
portion of the lefthand display has "My Contacts" asnd listed under this are
"Contacts."  These Contacts are from my Exchange Server mailbox.  How can I
get the "Good News Contacts" to also appear under the "My Contacts" section
and thus be selectable?

2.  When I now send (compose) a new email message, and press the "To" icon,
instead is displaying my Contacts, I get the names in a "Global Address
List," which are only those users who have mailboxes on the Exchange Server.  
I used to get my Contacts when I pressed the "To" icon.  When I try to select
"Contacts" from the "Show names from the:" dropdown list, I get the message:

The address list could not be displayed.  The contacts folder associated
with this address list could not be opened; It may have been moved or
deleted, or you do not have the permissions.

1) Bring up the Properties dialog for the Good News Contacts folder and check the Outlook Address Book box.

2) Remove the Outlook Address Book service using Tools | E-mail Accounts, then restart Outlook and add it back in.

You might want to do #2 before #1.
