Hi
Our organaisation has several departments keeping their own contacts in
various formats Excel Access etc.
We want to have a single  outlook .   contacts folder for everyone to use
across the exchange network. This would be used formail merge as well.
What I am going to do is create a contacts folder and import all the data,
and have this as a public folder with permissions.
I then need to create a custom contact form with just the fields we need.  I
also need to make custom categories for fiiltering for mail merges i.e
corporate, media,political etc.
Where I am stuck is, some of the categories will only be used by particular
departments. whereas some will be applicable to everyone. Is it possible to
have corporate categories for everyone and a button that will let users
select their department and then see \ select  additional categories for
their department only.
Sorry if this badly explained help appreciated.
Outlook 2003 on exchange server.
