Hello all!!

Is it possible to share a *.PAB between Outlook clients. I attempted to place the file on a shared folder on one of our server and when I add the second Outlook client I get errors.

Thanks in advance
gerry
 
No you can't.

Do this with a shared folder of contacts in the public folders.
 
Well, the only way I got this to work, in the days before we had Exchange Server, was to have a batch file that copied a central .PAB to a local folder. This gave a sort of Global Address List facility. However, it wouldn't work as a proper shared address book, since the users couldn't add addresses to it.

For that you need Exchange...

Hope this helps
