Outlook 2003 should have a shared address book feature.

[Richard Goulding]

I have set outlook professinal up for the first time. My wife and I have
seperate Email accounts and so I set up 2 profiles. We use a common address
book - which serves to print out Christmas addresses etc. This was all fine
under outlook express. But now I cannot access the addresses / contacts in
her Outlook area without installing Microsoft Exchange Server(and there is no
change of me doing that on a home PC!)
This seems like a step backwards to me. Is there any work around that does
not involve keeping 2 seperate address books in synch. ?

Not true. If you want to share a PST, then share it (although you won'e be
able to both have Outlook open at the same time). Create a PST in a shared
folder and point to it with each of your profiles. Create in it a Contacts
folder and enable it as an address book. Put your shared contacts in it.
All done.
