I want to import and then share as a global address book to all my exchange
users and list of contacts from our SQL datbase.

I found ecKnowledge which will do the job but our budget dosen't reach from
6,000 to 100,000 after I feel of my chair!

Can it be done and how?

Any help would be appreciated.

All you would need to do is import your contacts into a public contacts
folder accessible to all and then update these on a regular basis with any
changes (providing that each of these contacts can be uniquely identified.
Exactly was CG DataPorter was designed for with native SQL support and used
exactly for that purpose by many of our customers (information
http://www.contactgenie.com/cg20features.htm). You may also find other
alternatives at http://www.slipstick.com.

Thanks Karl.

How do I get address books from a public folder to appear when you start to
type ther name as is the case when they are referenced from the normal
contacts?

Names and addresses are added to the autocomplete list as the user uses them to send messages. You cannot prepopulate that list.
