Public Contacts

[Tim]

Have created a contact folder in the public folders of
outlook 2000 with a exchange 5.5 server. I have
customized the fields, added a couple and changed the
view. Now I want to make that the default for that folder
on the entire doman. any help would be great.

Thanks Tim

To force users to see a custom view when they open a public folder:

-- Create the custom view, choosing the "On this folder, visible to everyone" option

-- On the Properties dialog for the folder, on the Administration tab, select your view as the initial view on the folder.

-- Choose View | Current View | Define Views, and at the bottom of that dialog, check the box for "Only show views created for this folder."
