Hi

we run Outlook express 6, everyone seems to have there own address book, for
obvious reasons this is not very good. Is there away of putting the address
book on the server and pointing everyones outlook at the server address
book.

cheers for any pointers

Unfortunately Outlook Express does not have the functionallity to share the
address book between multiple users on different machines. Outlook 2000
offers the functionality to share the contacts with other users using Net
Folders but to share them with newer versions you would need to be using
Exchange server.

I hope this information is helpful.
