I have a client with 3 stand alone Outlook clients who are networked through
Windows.  They need to share their 1,000+ contacts amongs the 3 computers.  I
create a separate PST file on a common drive into which I created a new
folder for "Group Contacts".  However only one computer can have that PST
file open at one time.  Is there a way to set this PST file so that muliple
users can access it at the same time?

Thank you anyway for providing some incite into this situation.

Outlook can't share its files directly. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011477571033.aspx for an
article by Outlook MVP Eric Legault on various ways to share Outlook data.
YOu'll also find a list of third-party sharing tools and other information
at http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm.
