Journal/Contact Question

[Rusty Shackelford]

I am trying to setup Outlook to be used in a multi user enviorment. I want
to use a public folder to store the contacts however when I do this the
Journaling does not work. This is the same type of problem that I cam uppon
while trying to figure out how to use tasks for people in a public folder
(not able to see peoples active tasks for the contact but when people
complet the task they put them into a public folder that is linked to the
contact folder). So is there a similar way arround this? The big problem is
that if people need to have contacts in thier local inbox to make journaling
work nullifying the benifits for contacts in a public folder. What are the
options for this?

Outlook does not provide any built-in simple mechanism for maintaining a
public journal. See http://www.slipstick.com/journal/pubjournal.htm for a
discussion of this issue and possible solutions.

It does not have to be a public journal the journal can remain in the user
mailbox, the problem is journaling on records not contained in the user mail
box.
