    Shared Contacts with Outlook

    Not entirely sure but I know a web based version of Outlook called Outlook Web Server has a shared address book. Have you tried viewing the address book seperately and dragging it across into the shared directory ? Simon Everitt, Lockwell Lectrics Ltd I.T. Manager
