Hello,

I am IT of a company, probably 25 people in usa, 10 in panama. (this is
office people in company)

They had a large address book/contact list in Microsoft Access before I
worked here, I have converted it over to outlook 2003 public contact
list.

Thier is 1300 contacts in it.

Now everyone also has thier private contact list, buy my boss want all
the contacts in the public folder so everyone has access to them and so
thier pda's will sync with all the info.

I realize I could make subfolders under the public contact list for IT,
Sales, etc....
Or I could make categories in one Public Contact list.

But I dont like to dig thru 3000 contacts to find a contact i need, I
mean i only have 20 contacts in my list, why mess with 3000.

Maybe thier is a way to sync/mirror everyoens private contact list into
the public contact list??

PDAs generally cannot sync with public folders.

You don't need to dig through to find Contacts - type their first or last
name in the Contacts Lookup Window (part of the Standard Toolbar) and hit
Enter.

I recommend you put friends in your Mailbox's Contacts folder and the ones
the whole team needs in the Public one.
