MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006Sharing contacts
How do I share my contacts with other users on the same computor. I have tried moving them into the shared folder but this seems to just move the shortcut and no actual information????  Signaturethanks You have posted no information. Outlook version, information store and what you mean by "shared folder" would seem a minimum you should have posted. We can't read minds.

I have outlook 2003, the shared folder is the folder that is used if you want to transfer information (i.e photographs or documents) between users (who have their own personnal settings)using the same computor. Don`t know what you mean by information store. I wish to be able to transfer or gain access to contacts list and calendar for other users in their section. Hope this is a little clearer.

You need to find and move the actual *.pst file (information store), not make a shortcut to it. Use cut and paste if dragging doesn't work. Oh, and close outlook first. to find the file: http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/filepath.htm SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM >I am now officially told off, sorry but I am new to all this. > I have outlook 2003, the shared folder is the folder that is used if you [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> > the >> > shortcut and no actual information???? I see. I take it then you are a standalone user using a local data file, not using an Exchange Server mailbox. It's still not clear what you did. Contacts do not exist as a separate file, they are simply one folder in your Outlook data file (PST file). So what did you move to shared folders? You'd need to move your entire Outlook data file to a shared location and then set each Outlook profile to use that file as its default information store.
