Additional Mailbox Contacts added to Address Book

[Sam]

I have been given access to another users email account and have added them
in through, tools/services/ advanced.
Which works.
I would like to be able to use the other users contacts in my address book.
I can add my public folder contacts by properties/ outlook address book and
check the 'show this folder as an e-mail address book', but this is not
available when i do properties on her contact folder.
Is this possible?

The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address book display is somewhat involved:

1. Start with a profile that logs directly onto the other user's mailbox, not your own.

2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts.

3. Close Outlook.

4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own. On the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.

5. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder.

Thank you Sue for your advice. But, I still can not get the other user's
contacts to be viewed on my address book.

Senario: B user has full access to A user's account. B wants to be able to
view and use A's contacts via the address book in Outlook (when B writes new
email she use's the 'TO' button and locates address via address book).

Following Sue's advice (not quiet sure)>
1.opened A user's mail account
2.properties of A user's Contact folder and checked display in the Outlook
Address Book + changing name to A contacts
3.closed outlook
4.went to control panel/mail of B user/advance, add A user as secondary
mailbox.
5.restarted Outlook into B user's account. But, no A Contacts in address
book of B user.

Where am i going wrong?

It sounds like you may not followed the procedure exactly. In Step 4, you must be using the same profile as in Step 1 and *modify* it to point it at the B user mailbox, then add the A user as a secondary mailbox. If you're working with two different profiles in Steps 1 and 4, it won't work.
