Hi,
I use Outlook 2000 together with an Exchange Server 5.5.
I should now configure outlook (CW) on the way that the Address book of more then one exchange mailbox is visible on a outlook account.
I've done this some month ago, there I've loaded the address book from the company mailbox inside of the address book from the private mailbox.
Now I should do this in opposite way, but I could not remembering me how I've done this.
The user has access to both mailboxes so this is not the problem.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand your question right, you should goto Tools menu and click Services.

On the services tab, click "Microsoft Exchange Server" and click "Properties". Goto the "Advanced" tab and click "Add" type the name of the additional users mailbox and click "Ok".

Close and open outlook.

Thanks, but in this case you have two mailboxes open.
No I found a way to open only one mailbox on the exchange server but use two or more address books from other mailboxes. But I've forgotten what I have doen :((

Here's how:

1. Create an Outlook profile to open the other user's mailbox directly.

2. Make sure the Contacts folder is added to the Outlook Address Book in that profile. You'll probably also want to change the display the display name to something more specific than Contacts.

3. Exit Outlook.

4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit that same profile to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own mailbox. Add the other user's mailbox on the Advanced tab of the Exchange Serviceproperties.

The key is that you use the same profile throughout, just changing the mailbox.
