MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / February 2006Public Folder Contacts not appearing
Hello, I am trying to get a Public Folder Contact list to behave in a certain way. We have Exchange 2003 w/sp1, all clients running Ooutlook 2003 w/SP1 I can see all of the contacts within the /Public Folder/All Public Folders/ hierarchy, let's call it "Shipping Contacts". There are 55 contacts listed within. Now when a user wants to send an e-mail to one of these contacts they need to be able to: -open a new email -click "To" -Click the dropdown arrow under "Show names from the" and select "Public Folders" Nothing shows up here. I want the contacts listed within the "Shipping Contacts" list to show up so they can select any users they wish. A user created this Public Folder Contact list, so I am not sure what needs to be tweaked to allow this to happen. Thanks! Dear Gabriel, select the contact folder, right mouseclick, proberties, Outlook Addressbook, select "show this folder as Outlook Addressbook". Try it again now with the "To" field. ;-) -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Share your contacts, calendars or e-mails http://www.publicshareware.com > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > needs to be tweaked to allow this to happen. > Thanks! Hmm, if I try to make this change from within Outlook, that option is greyed out. I have "author rights" on the folder. Shouldnt I be able to change it? Dear Thorn, is your Outlook Addressboook available in the Outlook directories? Please have a look on this site and check the general settings for your Outlook Addressbook: http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oloab.htm After you are sure that your Outlook Adressboock is available in the Outlook services, try my last posting again, but pleasse read at first read the slipstick information. -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Share your contacts, calendars or e-mails http://www.publicshareware.com > Hmm, if I try to make this change from within Outlook, that option is > greyed out.
