Sharing a personal address book in Notes

Easy with Exchange?! Painful with Domino?!

You just need to remember that ANY shared data within a Domino environment is centrally accessed through a Domino server, rather than via the operating system. With that in mind...

1. File --> Database--> New (or [Ctrl] + [N])
2. Server: Pick the users "Home" server
3. Title: "Jenny and John's shared contacts"
4. Filename: {pick a filename and folder, as appropriate}
5. Template: "Personal Address Book"

Once the database has been created, set the ACL so only "Jenny and John" can access it.

Wasn't that painful, was it?

You could go a step further and create local replicas of the DB for "Jenny and John" and then change their user preferences so that this address book is also a "Local" address book and can be used in a new e-mail for type-ahead addressing or so that it appears in the "Choose address book" combo box when an address action is selected.
