Public Folders-Contacts- can't add multiple folders to Activities

Hi - we're new users to Outlook 2003 via Exchange Server on SBS 2003.
Our shared contacts are in a folder under 'All Public Folders'. In the Activities tab, I have added Calendars & Tasks folders separately for each of our 7 staff but I can't
add one "all Items" folder to include all Calendars & Tasks, so that when a contact is opened, all activities can be seen at once.
However, it won't allow me to select more than one folder/mailbox.

Can anyone help?
 
This is a limitation of public folders. It's the same one that doesn't allow
you to search subfolders in Adavanced Find.

Thanks Sue.
Are there any workarounds apart from our current set up?

If we had a group tasks folder & group calendars folder within Public Folders, would we be able to link these?
Thanks in anticipation of your response.

An Activities Group can contain only one public folder. Create a separate
group for each folder.

Alison,
HELP!
We have the same issue.

Did you come up with a solution????


Hoping you can shed some light on something I'm struggling with...
Can any Outlook client see email activity on Activities Tab of a Contact
that is to/from a different Outlook client?

Environment: Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook 2003.

All Contacts will be stored in a Public Folder on the Exchange Server.
So, when, for example, I go to a Contact, I'd like to go to the Activities
Tab and see any emails that were sent to or received from that Contact by me
(my machine), or anyone else's machine (that is also connected to the Exhange
Server).
Thanks in advance!
It's a deal breaker for a custom form application we've put together for a
client.

Sue,
I think I may have already sent you a post.
Have your book, too, brilliant stuff!
