Shared Contacts in Public Folder do not appear when creating email

[geistman]

I have created a Shared Contacts list in a Public Folder on an Exchange 2003
SBS server. I can view the list on multiple workstations under Public Folders
in Outlook 2002 and 2003. However, if I go to create a new email, I cannot
select names or groups from this folder; the shared list does not show up
under the "Show names from the..." drop down menu text box. How can I fix
this problem? (I hope I have explained my problem clearly).

Thanks in advance.

I figured it out myself -- just right-click on the Public Contacts folder and
click Properties. Click on Outlook Address Book tab, and then click in the
checkbox to activate "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book." Now it
shows up!
