How to Add Shared Contacts as an Outlook Address Book in Outlook 2003

I have a user who wants to create distribution list from shared contacts in Outlook 2003. The shared contacts folder does not appear in her Outlook address book menu. I have no trouble setting up additional address books to be viewed as Outlook address books but it appears that shared contacts do not have that option. Any suggestions?

Hi, dbachman916.

If by shared contacts you mean a contacts folder in another user's mailbox that she has access to, then there is no solution.  The behavior is by design.

So how does a person create a distribution list in Outlook 2003 using someone elses contacts? Do the contacts have to be in Public Folders as opposed to someone elses mailbox for it to work?
