Choosing Outlook Recipients from a shared contacts folder
Setup: MS Office 2007, Exchange server 2003, Windows 2003 Server, XP
Pro desktop I have a user that I've given access to her boss' email, contact, calender, etc... that want to print labels of her boss' contacts. Her list of outlook recipients does not include the outlook contacts of her boss even though she can see them in Outlook. I've given her full permission to his exchange folder in AD, I've explicitly shared his contacts with her but his contact list still doesn't show up in Word's outlook recipient list. What am I missing here? Thanks in Advance |

Choosing Outlook Recipients from a shared contacts folder
See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm Doing it that way may give you more options. -- Hope this helps.

Choosing Outlook Recipients from a shared contacts folder
Mayors page (mailmerge_from_outlook) is good but doesn't give any
technical details on how the list for contacts in Outlook is selected. In an enterprise environment I have administrative assistants who have need of their bosses' contact list. I can get outlook to show their contacts and their bosses' contacts. But Word doesn't seem to find their bosses' contact list. Maybe Word doesn't access Exchange Server? Do you know?

Choosing Outlook Recipients from a shared contacts folder
If I remember correctly, Graham's page recommends that you initiate the
merge from Outlook, i.e. you open the boss's contact list in Outlook ,select some records, then use Outlook Tools|Mail Merge... to start the merge. Since you can get Outlook to show the bosse's contacts, that at least should be feasible. I just tried it here and it seems to be OK. Does that work for you? Using the contact list selection in the Word Mail Merge Wizard is another question, because that method has never been particularly reliable, and seems to be much more dependent on how exactly Outlook and Exchange are configured. However, I did try that here as well, and the shared contact list did appear and I could use it as the data source for a merge. So I'm wondering whether I have set this up in a different way from you. Here, Outlook 2003 is set up in its default configuration (as far as I know) i.e. in Cached Exchange Mode. I logged into Windows as TheBoss, opened Outlook, right-clicked my mailbox, clicked sharing, added the user I wanted to share with (pjj (i.e. me) and made sure that pjj had at least read permission. Then I did the same for the Contacts, which seems for some reason to be separate despite being a subfolder of the mailbox. Then I logged out, logged in as pjj, opened Outlook, Tools|E-mail Accounts,|View or change existing e-mail accounts, select Microsoft Exchange Server, click Change...|More Settings...|Advanced and added TheBoss. Are you doing it some other way? Peter Jamieson "Starbuckeroo" wrote in message ps.com...
