Vicki,
Way down in this thread, you indicated that one of your users was
successfully able to create a new entry, but that she could not edit a
pre-existing entry. Can *you* edit the pre-existing entries. Can your
users edit the *new* contact?

OK, you said that you had both the Folder List & the Outlook Bar visible.
In your Folder List, go to "Public Folders", "All Public Folders". Does
your new folder appear there?
Besides that, I'm confused when you said that you "dragged" the Rolodex from
the Outlook bar into the folder....

Okay, here goes.
>From my workstation, I opened File/New/Folder...
At the dialog box -
Name: Clients
Folder Contains: Contact Items
Select where to place items: Public Folders/All Public
Folders
>From the folder list, I right-clicked "Clients" and went to Properties
I clicked on the Permissions tab and changed the "Default" item to
Editor.
Now the permissions dialog box looks like this:
Name: Role:
Default Editor
ve (that's me) Owner
Anonymous Contributor
I pushed apply and okay.
Does this help?

Well what would you call the whole ball of wax? I'm not talking about
just one entry, I'm talking about the whole collection of names
contained in that entity. It's called a "file" when you create it in
Outlook. It doesn't appear on the list with a folder icon. It appears
on the list with a rolodex icon. I'd call that a file, but that's just
semantics, and not really important. I'll give up that apellation if it
helps to solve the problem.
Meanwhile, I had a user create a new contact item/name/whatever, and she
was able to do that just fine, but was still unable to edit a previous
entry. And this was after I changed her permissions to "Publishing
Editor" last night!

You're confusing us with the "file" business. If it's just a CONTACT,
then
don't call it a "file".

Specifically, I created a contact file named "clients" and put it in the
public folder and set the default to "Editor". It did not allow others
to edit the contents of the "Client" file.

So let me get this straight...
You created a new public folder in Outlook called "contacts" and set it
up to contain contact items. You then went to the properties of the
newly created Public Folder, clicked on the permissions tab, and then
set the permissions to "Default=Editor" and it has not worked yet.

Depends... I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but I would
create a Contacts folder, that your people could use to enter contact
information for clients or whatever into. You know, kinda like the one
in Outlook. That way you don't have to worry about them mucking up the
file and such. But hey, that's me.

This is a Contact file - names and addresses. Not an email file.
Permissions have been set (I thought) to let everyone edit the
information, but they are unable to do so. They can go to the
appropriate name, open the item and make the changes, but the system
will not let them save the changes. I'm trying to figure out why not.
We have a mirror site at another location. I thought maybe it had to
replicate to that location before the permissions would be updated, but
that doesn't seem to be the case.

It sounds like there are existing messages in the folder now, yes? Are
they messages or Word/Excel, or some other type of attachment? Is it
possible that they were write-protected?
Can the users create a new message or post in the folder?
