Duh…

Someone asked me earlier today if they could create a distribution list in the Contacts folder of Outlook and then move it to someone else’s Outlook. Since we don’t have any sort of shared folders, (We have no real mail server outside of the POP3 our ISP uses and the MS Mail we use internally.) I started trying to find ways to use the import/export engine, and create a .csv or some other complexity like that. It was only after about a half hour of this that it dawned on me that a copy/paste to a network drive, followed by a copy/paste from the network drive to the other Outlook Contacts folder would do the trick just fine. I commited the cardinal sin of IT, I overlooked the obvious answer. I’m blaming it on the fact that I’m mentally already into the weekend! 🙂
