Accessing Shared Contacts in E-mail Addressbook

[Natalie]

We started a shared "master contact" listing by
establishing our receptionist as the "master" list and
allowing shared rights to our users. Users are able to
edit and share maintenace of these contacts through the
Outlook contact functions. BUT we cannot access the list
from e-mail when starting a new message. How do you get
a shared contact list to appear in the address book list
options in e-mail? We have tried to make it a public
folder but that doesn't seem to be working.

A public folder would be the best solution. What isn't working?

if you go to View>Folder List and then right-click on
your contact list that you want to share and go to
properties. Then go to Outlook Address Book and check
the "show this folder as an email address book" and then
click okay. You'll need to do this at each PC.
