I created one Contact Folder for all of the employees at work (everyone's information was in several different locations and was not being updated). I shared it with each individual here, however, when one person clicks on "open" it takes them to the Microsoft Website and tells them how to share contacts. Everyone else can open it and it gets added to their Contact Folders, just not this person. I did verify I gave him viewable access, he has 2003, any suggestions?

swells, SWAG, sounds to me like he has a trojan. Perhaps it's pretty benign and hasn't spread from his machine to others? This applies ONLY to him. Be aware that a virus and a Trojan are similar, but not the same. Many times, an AV detects one it can't clean, other times, it gets missed entirely. If you need to clean one, Superantispyware can do the job and you can get it free @: http://www.superantispyware.com/ among other places. They have a Vista compatible version if needed. If it turns out that you need to use it, be sure to update prior to running and disable 'restore' (restart after cleaning) so it doesn't get put back. They just released a new update recently and it changes all the time. Things are in a constant state of flux. The restore thing is critical. May not be your deal at all, but won't hurt anything to try. HTH. Ed in Texas.
