My company uses OUtlook 2002 and connects two offices via an Exchange server. We have a public contacts folder into which all of the company's contacts go. When I create a journal entry from within the contact, it records it in my personal journal and no one else can see this information. Also, when I create a letter or email message from within the contact, it isn't recorded anywhere, so that data history is lost. Using Tools>Options>Journal Options only allows you to specify what is recorded for contacts in my personal contacts list, not the public one.

Is there any way I can record the history of several contact items with each contact for all in the company to see?

Outlook does not provide any built-in simple mechanism for maintaining a
public journal. See http://www.slipstick.com/journal/pubjournal.htm for a
discussion of this issue and possible solutions.
