Me and my wife have different Contacts and Calendar sub-folders (to
synchronize with two PDAs). But when I create a new contact in my
sub-folder its birthday calendar event (which is created automatically
by Outlook) still goes to high-level Calendar folder. Is there any way
to tell Outlook to use my sub-folder for this?

Thanks a lot!

No. Why are you and your wife not using separate mail profiles? You'd each
have your own top-level calendar/contacts/etc. and wouldn't need to worry
about it any more.

As far as I understand if I'm working at the computer and she needs to
check somebody's phone number I need to go to Control Panel, switch
profiles, restart Outlook, check this number, go to Control Panel,
switch profiles, restart Outlook. Or is there a way to switch profiles
"on the fly" or see something in somebody's profile without switching?

If you have the option enabled in Control Panel, just stop and restart
Outlook, which will then ask which profile you want to use.

Thanks Brian!
I'm still not sure whether I'll go this way but it's definitely an
option.
