Searching a Shared Contacts list

Here is the situation, I have full access to another
users' entire mailbox (including owner rights).  We are
both using Outlook 2003.  I am wondering if there is a
way to search this users' contact list when I create a
new mail message.

Currently, if I go and create a new mail message and
click on the TO button, it will only bring up my own
contacts.  

In order to use the delegates contact list, I have to go
directly to their contact list, right click on an entry
and create a new mail message.  This can be time
consuming.

Is there a way to have their contact list show up in my
available address books?

thanks

Right click their contacts folder, Properties and then Outlook Address
book - set it to show as an address book.  Fixed!

I unfortunately do not get that option.  The only way I see this users
address book is when I click on Contacts in the Navigation Pane.  When I
right click on the address book in this area, I get the following:  General,
Home Page, Administration, Forms and Permissions.  I dont have the Outlook
Address book tab for this particular book

If I choose to look at my folder list, this persons address book does not
appear.  It also does not appear if I create a new message and click on TO.

Still confused.  :(

Get your IT support people (I hope that's not an oxymoron)  to make the
folder show in your folder list - it's something they do in Exchange.  Then
you can follow the instructions I gave before.
