If I have premissions to access another users Exchange Mailbox in Outlook, how would I be able to use their Contacts for addressing.

Their address book would need to be in a folder on the network and you would then need permissions to view that folder.

What I am looking for is a way to add the other persons address book in outlook under
">tools>services>addressing>When sending mail, check names in these address lists in the following order>add"
This will allow me to add my own contact list as an addressing sourse but no the other persons though I have full rights to their exchange mailbox

Sorry to break the bad news, but Outlook does not allow you to expose another user's Contacts folder via the Outlook Address Book, only folders in your own mailbox, a PST file or Public Folders.

One workaround is to open the other user's Contacts folder, select a contact, then use the Action | New Message command.

Another is to copy all the items from the other user's Contacts folder to a folder in your own mailbox.

Thanks for all comments received. I have worked out the solution to theis problem and it is to copy the contacts folder to a public folder, set the properties to show it as an e-mail address book and reconfigure Outlook/Tools/Services/Addressing.
