MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004sharing contact info in outlook - 2 accounts on one xp pro machine
I have an XP pro machine with two user logins, both run outlook, each profile has their own email address and config. However, I'm trying to share contacts so that when one person enters a contact, it's available in the other persons contact info as well (i imported one to other for now to buy me some time). there is no exchange server, but seeing this is one machine, only one user logged on at a time, this should be doable I'd think. Config is Outlook 2002 running on XP Pro. No Exchange server present. Thanks! Will both users ever need to access the data at the same time?

I think the only problem with that is then each user would have access to the others email. Is all email and contacts stored in the .PST? I wasn't clear if contacts were .PAB. Obviously if email and contacts are both in the .PST, then I'm probably out of luck unless I write some sort of script to occassionally sync the two databases. Thanks for the help, Russ. > Then you're in luck.
