OK i think i already know the answer to this question but i am going to go ahead and post it anyway to get some feedback.
Here is my problem. We are using office 2000 we have a user (prez of company) who likes to change the file as name in the contacts folder, which therefor duplicates all of his contacts when he sinks his palm pilot. Also he has three assistants all of whom have access to these databases and all of whom update info. I know there is a feature to where you can "link" the contacts (not sure of how to use it or if it works good) so that if you update one they will all get updated. Example, we have corporate rolodex and personal contacts on users pc's that have same contact info. I know a HUGE database problem. Does anyone have any suggestions. What i want to do is move EVERYONE's contacts into the corporate rolodex and have only one person do the updating.
