When I choose "all items" on the activities tab of the
contact form, Outlook should pull in all items from the
public folders relating to that contact but it's not.

Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance for your help!

An Activities view can only scan more than one folder in your default
PST or mailbox. In a public folder the view has to be set up to only
search in that public folder and no other folders at all.

Ken,

I don't understand what you mean.  Please elaborate.  If
there is an option to "show all public folders", I don't
see why it won't search all public folders.

Thanks.

A search for Activities in a public folder can only search that one
public folder, no others and no mailbox or PST folders. That's a
limitation of Exchange. Showing folders has nothing to do with it.

Right-click on the contacts folder in the Folder List or Outlook Bar,
select Properties, then go to the Activities tab. You can define
Activities views there. Create a new view, name it, and select folders
for it. You will see that for a public folder you can only select that
one and nothing else.
