Sharing Personal contacts

[Woody]

We run an exchange server with everyone looking at a global contacts list.
I have a personal contacts list in my outlook which i want to share with 2
of my collegues. I have shared the contacts and added them as users with
reviewer rights in order to look at the contacts. When they open the shared
contacts it just says unable to open the specified folders.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

If they are in personal folders, they cannot be shared. You would need to
make them available on your exchange mailbox contacts folder. Using
categories would be a good idea for this option.

Thanks Milly,

How do you make them available on the exchange mailbox contacts folder, and
can you restrict the sharing to certain users?

Thanks

You can simply copy them to the Contacts folder in the Exchange mailbox,
then on the permissions tab of that folder, make the default none and add
the users you want with the appropriate permissions.

Milly, excuse my ignorance but how do you copy the contacts into the exchange
mailbox. Do you mean copy them individually into the exchange list. I have
tried copying the whole of the personal contacts but it does not copy.
Thank You.
