How do I create a Contact Group for other person's contacts?
In Outlook 2010, I have been given delegate access (editor) to someone else's contacts. When I highlight their contacts in the navigation pane and select New Contact Group, Add Members, From Outlook Contacts, I don't see their name in the drop down list in the Address Book field. How can I access their contacts in order to make customized contact groups from their contacts?
Thanks,

Hi kfalandays,
When I am positioned in their contacts folder and I go to add members to a new group, in the dialog box, it says Contacts-MyName, rather than the name of the person whose contacts I'm searching for. When I drop down the list in that field, I don't see a listing for that other person's name. When I right click on their contacts folder and choose Properties, I don't see a tab for Outlook Address book in the resulting dialog box.

Hi contrain, can you attach a screenshot of what their contact folder looks like in your navigation pane?

As you can see in the first screen shot, I have access to the contacts of RodLaughridgeTrain. And I can see his contacts.
In the second screen shot, I am attempting to create a group list from his contacts, but I don't see a listing for his contacts in the drop down list when I am trying to Add Members from Outlook Contacts. RLaughridge is different than RLaughridgeTrain.

Yes,
This worked and did what I was looking for.

If you are positioned on their contact folder in your navigation pane and create new contact group, when you select "add members", their contact list should be the default. What are you seeing instead?
Another thing to check is to right mouse click their contact folder and choose properties. Is there a tab for Outlook Address Book? Check to display this as an Outlook Address Book
