Adding new Contacts

[JoeBanana]

Hello everyone

I'm using Outlook XP and I have created two new set of folders for Contacts & Calendar. One of them is shared with my professional profile. Basically I'm using two profiles just to separate my mail, but I want use the same contacts & calendar for both
However every time I create a new contact or calendar item, it is allways created in the "Outlook" folder and not in the shared folder

Does anyone have a solution to this problem

Thanks & Regards

Define what you mean by "shared" folder.

Hello everyone,

Well, as I said I'm using two profiles, one for private mail, the other for business. This works fine each profile have his own pst file, so all mail is kept separeted
In addition I have created a "Common.pst" with contacts & calendar which are "shared" by both profiles, in order to have one single directory & calendar whatever profile I'm using
Basically in profile "A" there are the normal "Oulook Folders" for "A" plus the "Common folders" I have created
For profile "B" there are the normal "Oulook Folders" for "B" plus the "Common folders" I have created

The problem is, if for example I'm using profile "A" and I create a new contact or a new calendar item, it will be created in the " Outlook folders/Contacts or /Calendar" and not in the "Common folders/Contacts or /Calendar"

My question is how can I make sure whatever profile I'm using, I will only use the "Common folders"

Sorry for being a bit long, but I tried to be as clear as possible

Thanks & Regards

Interesting setup. Not one I've ever seen before.
Why aren't you just creating the Contacts and Appointments in your Common
PST? Outlook will always use your default PST, but you can easily override
that by simply creating the new items in your non-default PST.

Most users do what you want by using a single PST and using rules to keep
the messages from each account separate.

folders/Contacts or /Calendar" and not in the "Common folders/Contacts or
/Calendar".
