How can I add Shared Address book into the 'Contacts' button
(under the Inbox Tree)

When Shared Address is accessed using the AddressBook ICON we
only see a BASIC list (Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2003)

Users like the TABBED Contacts view

Is it possible to add an Address Book to the Contacts item???

Can this be done with VBA or VB.NET???

Any ideas would be welcome

Please define what you mean by "shared address book."

Using Outlook 2003 - this is a Outlook Address Book created in the Public
Folder
Everyone has rights to Change / Add new entries - no delete (only the Admin)

I can Add this to the Address Book using Tools > Address books > Tools ....

I have made this the 'Default' instead of GAL
Only problem is the VIEW is VERY Basic
Users prefer the 'Contacts' - where they can choose the 'view' ie. Tabbed ,
List etc..

Please define what you mean by "shared address book."

You mean that users want to see the public folder under their Contacts navigation pane? Show them how to add it to Public Folders\Favorites (drag/drop is easiest). It should then automatically appear under Other Contacts.
