Sharing contacts on same PC Different Profiles
OK this should be pretty easy, but I guess its just a brain freeze.
I have my contacts listed in outlook 2003. (Windows XP) I set up another profile for my wife to use her email. Other than exporting, shouldn’t I be able to share my address book? Is it just pointing to the right data file in some option table? This should be simple, but I wouldn’t be posting if I had found a way yet! Many thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Address Book? Outlook has no address book.
You can set each profile to use the same Outlook Data file if you wish, but then all Outlook data will be shared. Is that what you want? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John G" wrote in message news:000501c68449$19c1d410$6601a8c0@GORMAN1... OK this should be pretty easy, but I guess its just a brain freeze.

Sharing contacts on same PC Different Profiles
Thanks for reply Russ.
OK, how about contacts? What I'm trying to do is keep our email messages in individual personal files, hence different profiles. But share the same contacts and calendar (folders?.) Because it's not on an exchange server, the "share" isn't highlighted. Does that make sense? John Consider the past and you shall know the future.

Without Exchange, sharing is all or none. You share all your data or none of
it. You can easily populate your respective Contact Folders the same. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John G" wrote in message news:000a01c68452$f7645410$6601a8c0@GORMAN1... Thanks for reply Russ.

Sharing contacts on same PC Different Profiles
Thanks again Russ.
I exported my contacts list and imported to hers. The more I dealt with it, the more sense it made to export/import, keep the common addresses, lose the ones I used that she wouldn't, and have her then manage her own list.

Next time, just open the other PST and copy from it. Export/Import loses
data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John G" wrote in message news:000101c68458$136a7450$6601a8c0@GORMAN1... Thanks again Russ. I exported my contacts list and imported to hers.
