MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2004Other users contacts as an addressbook
Hi, When I give permission to another users contacts and add that users to my outlook, I like to see these contacts as an address book, normally you have the option through properties - outlook address book to turn this on. But I do not see that option in another users Contact list? I'm using outlook2k with exchange. rgds, Peter The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address book display is somewhat involved: 1. Start with a profile that logs directly onto the other user's mailbox, not your own. 2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts. 3. Close Outlook. 4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own. On the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox. 5. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder.

When I attempted to create a profile on the other computer which connects to the person's contact folder I wish to see, it wont' allow me to logon to their mailbox and I don't see a way to put in the proper logon credentials when setting up the profile. Am I making sense? I try to create the profile which connects to the users store I wish to see and it wont let me. We have Exchange 2003 and I'm pretty new (obviously) to this whole thing so I apologize in advance for asking what might be a very obvious question... Thanks! >-----Original Message----- >The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >. You must have permission for the mailbox, if just for the time it takes to set up the contacts list as I describe, and may need to change the security settings for the Exchange service so that you get prompted for a logon. The details depend on your Outlook version, which you didn't mention.

Hi Sue. The Outlook version is 2002. I've given the user who needs access to this contact list permisions using the permisions settings within Outlook. By doing this the users is able to open the contact file, but I need this to display as an address book within Outlook. I'm wondering if this is a permission setting I need to apply within Active Directory? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Yes, you need to grant the person permission for the mailbox, at least for the time it takes to set this up.
