Drag and Drop of docs to Public Folder

[martyuiop]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

I have a hosted exchange account set up in Entourage 2008. I am able to use the Public calendar. I am able to use the Public Folders (for example to drag emails to and create new 'posts').
If I set up the account in Outlook I am able to drag pdf's word doc's etc to the shared folder.
But I am not able to drag document items to this folder in Entourage 08.
I have all the latest updates for OSX and for Office 08.
Any help or suggestions, greatly appreciated.

I have a hosted exchange account set up in Entourage 2008. I am able
to use the Public calendar. I am able to use the Public Folders (for
example to drag emails to and create new 'posts'). If I set up the
account in Outlook I am able to drag pdf's word doc's etc to the
shared folder. But I am not able to drag document items to this
folder in Entourage 08. I have all the latest updates for OSX and for
Office 08.

Entourage does not support anything other than mail messages, calendars
and contacts in public folders. Files such as Word documents cannot be
used with public folders using Entourage.

I suggest you look at sharing these files using something like a hosted
SharePoint server (for example: <http://www.sharepointsite.com/>) or
using Microsoft Office Live <http://www.officelive.com/>, which is free.
Public folders were de-emphasized with Exchange Server 2007 and further
support will be minimal at best to none at worst. "De-emphasized" means
that feature is slated to go away in the future.

SharePoint is Microsoft's recommended replacement for public folders.

Hope this helps!
