Sharing a Contact List
Dear Experts,
I have a question about sharing Outlook contacts. I am still view articles to find an answer but I thought I would throw this out to you in case anyone knew the answer right off.
I have a department that wants to share a contact list. I have found several ways to share a contact list but I cannot figure out how to get it in the drop down list when the user hits the "To:" button in a new message. Right now a user gets their personal address book and the global exchange address book. It looks as if the contact list needs to be added to the local address book for that user. So how do you add a shared contact list or a contact list from aother user into the contact list for the local address book?
If anyone can help me out with this I would appreciate the help.
