How do I set up a shared contact list on outlook?

[Alex Wade]

I am currently setting up a contacts list of all the customers we provide
service to. The goal is to create a list that everyone on our network will be
able to view and modify. I have created a secondary contacts list, seperate
from my personal one, and have added a number of the contacts to it. Then I
went through and changed the permissions for all the other users so that they
would be able to read and modify the list. After that I went to a fellow
worker in the office to see if he was able to see the list and he could see
my personal contacts list, although one of the entries from the secondary
list was visible, the rest of them were not. I've tried drag and drop the
secondary list into the public folders but that does not work either. How
can I get it so that everone can access this contacts list from their own
accounts on their own computers?

Ideally, this should be a list in Public Folders, not in your mailbox.
