We have MS Office / Outlook 2000 installed in our workgroup. Is there
a way that we can create a "public" contacts list that anyone can view
and enter info into

Also, can we create a public calendar so we can all enter our
appointments and they can be viewed by all in our department through
Outlook?

Fran,

You can create both calendars and contact lists as Public Folders on your
Exchange Server. The permissions can be set to allow any or all the
permissions to read/edit the contents.

I do not believe that you can automatically feed the various users
information into those folders. The best we to view the schedules of many
users at one time is set up a group schedule as follows:

Create, view, or delete a group schedule

In Calendar, on the Actions menu, click View Group Schedules.

Create a group schedule

Click New.
Type a name for the new group schedule, and then click OK.
Click Add Others, and then click either Add from Address Book or Add Public
Folder.
Select the names or the public folder, and then click OK.
