sharing contact list between user accounts on same computer

[Michael Jay Friedman]

Hi,

I run Outlook 2003 on one computer, with Windows 2000 as the OS. My wife
uses the same computer but her own "user account." Now that I have
laboriously created our joint Contact List, I would like her to access it
through her user account. Is this feasible, or must I export the contact
list, copy it to removeable media, then import it from her account?

TIA,
Michael

Any reason you can't configure each installation of Outlook to use the same
PST file?

Hi Russ,

Thank you for your reply. Basically we have separate calendars, e-mail etc.,
but would like to share the Contacts list. If Outlook can be so configured I
would appreciate any instructions you might offer.

It cannot.

We (Parallelspace) also have an Outlook 2003-based solution for aggregating
contacts to a SharePoint site and then downloading them into Shared Contacts
folder in a custom PST.

No limitations on the Contact fields that are uploaded and downloaded. We
also support categorization of Contacts based on custom fields. These
categories are then used to create a hierarchy of Contact folders when
downloaded into the local PST.
