Outlook 2002 contact do not update

[GB]

Hi All,

I have an exchange environment where users share their contacts. One
specific user's contacts though, do not get updated through the network,
everyone has "owner" rights to the user in question. I have checked that
the shared folder is indeed the "contacts" folder in the user's mailbox and
not referring to a pst file, when adding a contact to this user's list, that
specific contact does not appear on the other user's lists....

I have outlook 2002 installed as part of SBS 2000

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance and regards


Gianni

I don't understand what "other user's lists" you're referring to. Outlook
doesn't have any feature built in to copy data from one user's contacts
folder to another.

Hi There,

not copy, sharing....the users share each other's contacts, eg, I share my
contact with you and, let's say I update my contacts with my mom's address,
you don't see my mom's addy reflected in the shared folder


thanks and regards

Hi Sue,

Yep, that's correct, no updated contacts at all, and yeah, have re-set all
permissions etc. etc., no joy at all. I read some time ago, that it was
something to do with the number of contacts???

thanks again

So what do the other user's actually see? The same contacts but not updated?
No new contacts?

It might be worthwhile to reset all the permissions on that folder.

The number doesn't make any difference in an Exchange mailbox folder. Is the
user perhaps setting some of these contacts to Private?
