Posting to a public folder From Field Greyed Out

[mdlister]

Afternoon,

I have done a search online for any reference to outlook 2007 publi
folder posts and from field greyed out but can't seem to find anythin
to explain why this is happening.

Currently users in outlook 2000 post items in outlook using the fro
field and select a team from the Gal instead of from an indervidual
now they are migrating to 2007 they do not have this ability as th
From Field is Greyed out. Is this a new restriction in 2007 o
something that hasn't been set correctly?

Thank

Check with the Exchange Administrator to see if there are any restrictions
set on Exchange. Public folders belong to Exchange, not Outlook. You may
also want to post htis to an Exchange.Admin group for additional information
from the server side gurus.

Thanks Milly,

I am one of the Exchange Administrators, and nothing has bee
changed in our environment since introducing 2007. I checked with
user of 2000 and they are still able to post messages in to any publi
folder they have access to and edit the from field to make a pos
appear as if its from a team or another team member but its disabled i
2007 so i assumed its either not configured disable
