PLEASE - NEED ANSWER - Sharing Contacts/Distribution Lists w/ CoWo

[rhodesjrsr]

I maintain numerous Distribution Lists that I used to share w/ my co-workers
when we were using the "Groupwise" program. Since moving to Outlook (with a
Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account), I cannot figure out how to share
my distribution lists and my contacts w/ my co-workers. Is this even
possible??
We are running Outlook 2003.

My preferred solution to that would be to create a shared Contact list
in Exchange (or SharePoint) and put them there. Another option would be
to right-click your Contacts folder, go to Properties, Permissions and
give your co-workers permission to at least read your Contacts folder.
I'm not as keen on that one because that will let them see ALL of your
contacts.

I suppose you could just create a separate Contacts folder for the
shared Distribution lists and share THAT folder - that might be another
way to go.
