New Contacts Marked Private

[Schlep]

Exchange 5.5 sp4 on NT4 sp6, Outlook 2000 on Win2K

User setup as Publishing Editor to boss' Contacts. Creates new contact but after Save cannot see it. On boss' system contact is visible and marked Private. Private checkbox not marked when contact is created by user. Any ideas?

did the boss check off the "Delegate can see my Private items" option? (Under Tools, Options, Delegates, Permissions)

Thanks Brontosaurus for the quick reply. Boss would prefer to keep his Private contacts that way. Is there any explanation as to why the newly created Contacts are marked Private even though the checkbox is not selected?

Ahh, I misunderstood your question. OK, ready for something really silly? Check the boss' Outlook under Tools, Options, Preferences, Email Options, Advanced Email Options. Is the messages Sensitivity set to Private? Believe it or not, this also affects the creation of new Contacts....

don't ask me how I just posted as MWOODBURY....but that was me

Boss' preferences are set to Normal. Gave user permission to see Private items for the time being but still, everything she creates in his Contacts is marked Private.

 

[brontosaurus]

what about her preferences?

 

[Schlep]

Her preferences set to Normal as well.

Hmm...sorry I can't be of more help, this is strange behavior. If I think of anything, I'll post back...

Thanks Brontosaurus. I keep combing MS Support and forums but cannot find an answer. Your suggestions have been most helpful and have given me new direction. I will post here if/when I find the answer.
