MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006MERGE Contacts into Global Address? What is the best way?
I have worked to personnally manage our database. However, our entire office needs access. Some utilize PC and others access through laptops. We have Exchange and I need to know the best way to keep our address book fresh and current. I would like the power of the team to allow for adds/deletions/updates as needed. I want this to reflect for all of us! We have struggled with many different databases and I will not rebuild it again. What is the best way to post a company address book which mobile users can access on their laptop and sync with the home server when they get back to the office or while on the internet? HELP and please keep the instructions a bit above basic. Thanks!!!  SignatureNO SPAM Since you want users to be able to manage this contact information, the Global Address List is not really an option. Consider creating a contacts folder in the Public Folders\All Public Folders hierarchy and granting all users Author permission.

I have done what you stated and placed the "NEW" contacts list in the public folders. When users go to type an email, this contact list does not show up. I have shared this list and the person I worked with can see the public folder but can't make it work with email.

Thanks!!! Does not show up where? Did you check the box on the folder's Properties dialog to display it in the Outlook Address Book? Each user needs to do this.
