hi there

I want to set up a list of contacts for a group of users to share. My
thoughts are to create a public folder for the purpose, but I wonder if it is
possible to set it up with a web interface so that the users can access it
via our Intranet? I am not talking about web mail, but something separate
specifically for contacts with a nice, user friendly view that we can
hopefully customise.

Is anyone familiar with such a thing? We are running Exchange 5.5, but will
be upgrading to 2003 shortly, and running Outlook 2003. Some machines have
Windows 2000 and some have XP.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

cheers
Kathryn

Aloha Kathryn,

I'd do it with a public folder accessed thru Outlook.

hi there

thanks for the reply. I have suggested the public folder option, but they
are looking for something with one set view, and a very rudimentary input
screen, hence the idea of a customisable web interface.

Any ideas?

thanks

Kath

Aloha Kathryn,

But I think they are making it far more complicated than it needs to be.
