I am going to have to integrate a new employee's contact
list into the office's master list.

The problem is that she has all her contacts, several
thousand, are all marked private. I can not see her
contacts on the network. And due to her work hours I can
not do a manual "click" to change the status.

Is there a way to change them all at once? Private is a
field but I can't find a way to "search and replace" the
value.

Thanks,

John
 
Try this: Create a custom view of the Contacts folder that groups the
contacts by the Private field. If ALL of the contacts are in the "Private:
Yes" group, clear the Private checkbox on one of them and then save it, so
that a "Private: No" group will be created. Then select and drag all the
contacts from the Yes group to the No group.
