    - Multiple contact lists - can Outlook 2007 search? I have several contact lists that I've accumulated over the years. Problem- I can see all these contact lists inside of Outlook, but when I go to send an e-mail to one of my contacts, Outlook will not look inside all of the contact lists to find the person I am looking for. I am using Windows Vista and Outlook 2007. Is there a way for Outlook to go look at these contact lists automatically? Thanks in advance - Anne Tag: Sharing contacts in Outlook 2003 Tag: 124298

    - Sharing Contacts I would like to create an address list/forlder... on the Exchange 2007 server that can then be added to peoples contacts in outlook. They can then add/remove contacts to this list therefore creating a common address book. I cannot find in the Exchange documentation where to do this. Note adding an address list is not the answer.

I new to this whole post questions to get help, but I hope someone can help me with this somewhat simple issue (obviously not so simple cause I canâ??t figure it out). But the issue I am having is that my boss once sent an email to a Kevin, but has no longer kept in contact with him, and now we work with another Kevin, and every time my boss wants to email him this old Kevin's email address pops up first and he sends him emails without noticing that it went to the wrong guy right away. This old Kevin is not in his contact list, how can i delete his email???? Thank you so much for taking the time and reading about my issue, hope someone out there can help me!

    - Extra Line in Contact Address Printout I am prinitng out my contact (Outlook 2003) list in "phone book" format. I have compnay names with most of the people. When I print the list, sometimes it adds an extra blank line between the company name and the person's name, and sometimes it doesn't. I can't seem to see any difference in the data in the fields between the contacts the have an extra line and those that don't. Does anyone know how to make this consistent??

    - Deleting Contacts - Contacts v/s GAL Contacts Outlook Version 11.8204.xxxx SP3 Clients are Connected to Exchange 2003 No Cached mode is used. Symptom: When a Contact is deleted for the Contacts folder, it is 'moved' to Deleted Items folder, but when deleted from Address Book Icon>Contacts (show Names from)>highlight a contact, right click >Delete>OK it does not go to the Deleted Items. As BlackBerry sync uses 'Deleted Items' to synchronize, Contacts deleted via Address Book icon do not get synchronised with BB. Also the same Contact does to get 'deleted' from the Contacts Folder. Question: 1. How would you setup Outlook so that when Contact Items are deleted from Address Book icon, it goes to Deleted Items' folder? 2. How would the Contacts Folder be 'refreshed' with the deleted contact when done from Address book Icon.?. PS: Send/Receive does not update it. -- Amin M.

    - How do I add calendar entry for existing contacts (birthday) I had to delete all my calendar entries as it was a mess - several duplicates were created for each item as I changed the File As format a few times, So I emptied the Calendar and now want to create the calendar from scratch. Is there any easy way to do this (VB/Macro)? Before when I saved a Contact it would give me the option whether I want to create a calendar entry, but now it does not. And no entry is created automatically. So I cannot take that tedious route to furbish my Calendar events either! Tag: Sharing contacts in Outlook 2003 Tag: 124268

    - how do i add multiple contacts at once? Hi, I am using Outlook 2003. I have a folder with a lot of messages (100+). I want to add all the email addresses to my contact list. I guess this means I'll end up with 100+ Address Cards. I know I can drag the message to the Contacts tab and that creates an address card, but I can't seem to do that when I select all 100+ messages. How can I make this happen? Thank you in advance!

    - Outlook Contacts Missing Notes After Export-Import Hello everyone, I hope my note finds you doing well. I work in for a small business (there are only 7 of us here). Everyone has stand-alone PC's (no network yet, though we are working on it) and we are running Windows XP and Office 2007. I happened to get the lucky task of putting over 650 contacts into Outlook. I could not displace my manager for the gazillion of hours it took to do this, so I did it at my desktop, used the Import-Export feature in Outlook Contacts, and exported them to a disk to upload on my manager's computer. The process was super fast and easy, but you can imagine my dismay when I saw that all the Contacts had imported with the Notes section completely BLANK! I had put very detailed notes in that section for just about every contact -- pictures (jpeg files), alternate addresses, emails of their assistants, etc. Needless to say, I am not a happy camper. Does anyone know of a better way to do this so ALL of my data actually gets transferred? I look forward to your replies, thanks so much. Regards, Cat Tag: Sharing contacts in Outlook 2003 Tag: 124236

    - Change Outlook 2007 contact reminder default time from 4:00pm When I set a follow-up reminder for a contact in Outlook 2007, the default reminder time is set at 4:00pm!!! I know if I change my working day from 8:00am-5:00pm to 8:00am-9:00am it will move the default reminder time to 8:00am as the default reminder time is set to one hour before the end of your working day which is useless as most people start there working day at 8:00am not 4:00pm. The problem is my working day is from 8:00am - 5:00pm and that is how I want outlook set-up. If I set my working day to 8:00am-5:00pm then my default reminder, start time moves to 4:00pm one hour before the end of my workday. Very stupid if you ask me. The programmer must have been smoking weed and only started work at 4:00pm. Seems to me that this is a huge bug in Outlook 2007 that has not been fixed. When will Microsoft release a fix for this problem? 10 years from now? Tag: Sharing contacts in Outlook 2003 Tag: 124118

How can we share contacts in Outlook WITHOUT MS Exchange.
All the solutions I've seen indicate using Public Folders but these are not
visible in Outlook. Are they only available with Exchange. ?
