We have many secretaries who access and maintain their boss' contacts.  What
they would like to do, is to select objects from their boss' contacts when
addressing e-mails.   Click TO and select their boss' contact for
addressing.

To do that, the other contact folder has to be selected as a "Outlook
Address Book".   When you right-click on one of your own contact folders and
select "properties" there is a tab named "Outlook Address Book" which gives
you the ability to select this folder to address from.

Way, back in the early years (Outlook 97 or so)  I found a way to do this by
first setting up the secretary's Outlook on the boss' mailbox, selecting the
boss' Contacts as Addrss Book, then changing the mailbox to the Secretary's.
Then I was able to select the secretary's contacts as address book while the
boss' stayed selected.

We recently upgraded to Office 2003 and when we upgraded, the links to the
boss' contacts all disappeared.  Before going through the hassle of going
through that process again to see if it will work in Outlook 2003, I wanted
to find out if there was a more direct way of doing this, or maybe someone
knows if that process even works in 2003.

Anyone else done this?  Anyone know how to do this?

In the meantime, I've told all of them that 2003 doesn't support that
feature, and they have to go to the boss' contacts and right-click on the
contact and select "New message to Contact".  But, it would be much easier
if they could do it the other way around.

Thanks.
