I have multiple contact lists in outlook, which are stored on our exchange
server. I am only able to share the original contact list that is installed
by default in outlook2003. Is there a way to share the other contact lists
I've created manually for different departments with other outlook 2003
clients on my local network? All users on our network have the same issue(
can only share "Contacts" folder).
 
You will need to grant root permissions to your Outlook Mailbox and then set
the desired permisions on the Contacts folders you want to share, as well as
other folders you do not want to share.

I have the same problem and this suggestion doesn't work. For example, I give
Editor permissions for all users to the root of my Mailbox. But anyone trying
to conenct to my non-default Contacts lists still has the problem: When they
use the "Open Other User's Folder" tool, I specify the username and the
folder type (Contacts). I am never given a choice to open a non-default
Contact list.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

You need to go into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), bring up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, add the mailbox to yoiur profile.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033
