I am new to Outlook so please be nice..

My boss has created a contact list on excel and I am wondering if there is
like a master contact list or addressbook on exchange?

he has a file name contacts.pst and contacts.wab  

is there a way to make either of this files like the master contact list?  
basically what I want to do is have all the users point to like a master
contact list. so if that list changes they all change at the sametime. Im a
Lotus Notes admin and we have a master contact list.. so I am just assuming
outlook has one.. just not sure how it works and if it can be implemented.

Thanks in advance for the help.

One way to do this is to get your IT Administrator to make a Public Folder
for Contacts, you can place Contacts in it and set the Permission so that
only the users you want to have access, have access.  How your IT people
prefer you to share Contacts is important - so go see them and have them set
it up for you.

Public Folder?  what do you mean by that please.  Could be a Public Folder on
the server as a share forlder? or Public Folder on exchange?

if it is a Public Folder on the server how do I point to it?

Thank you

your IT people if they are Exchange certified will know how to do it. Users
cannot do it. It's an adnministrator function. You don't need to know how to
do it. I don't know how to do it.
