How dio I share co-worker's distribution list?

[editprod]

My co-worker wants me to have access to one of her distrubtion lists in
Outlook 2002 (on a Win 2K network) which contains e-mail addresses for
outside contacts that both of us use. It's not one of the company-wide
distribution lists -- it apparently exists only on her workstation --
and we want to keep it so that just the two of us so either can of us
can view and add/delete/update contact info. What do we need to do?

Thanks.

She could grant you permission to her contacts list or sub-folder of it on
the mailbox which would give access to you.

If you are on Exchange Server could create a Public Folder contact list
where you both would have access to it.

Could also export/import the information to you but this would not be the
best solution as the data may not be in synch.

Thanks, I appreciate your help. We're networked, but I'm not sure about
Exchange Server. We both have access to common common internal
distribution lists and all-company global addresses, but I'll have to
dig deeper first change I get.

In case others are reading this thread, the solution (with Exchange
Server as a backdrop) was pretty simple:.

-- On the remote worker's workstation, I navigated in Outlook to Tools |
Options | Delegates tab | Add .... and added my username

-- On my system, I chose Edit | Open | Other User's folder, answered the
prompt for the remote user, and chose a "folder" (contact and calendar).
The distribution and contacts lists and calendar were there...and I'm
able remotely add/remove and update the list and manage the remote
user's calendar. After the first actions, the user's name/"folders"
appear as recently-used slections.

I don't know if this is the prescribed way of doing it, but it was
simple and intuitive...and got the desired results.

Again, thanks for your help...
