Shared public folders with permissions set for only those users that want access. This way they have the best of both worlds in being able to share their data and access it at the same time. You may be able to get one of the gurus here to explain the programming behind automating the folder creation:)

[+ Related Issue] A few of my users are asking me to create hundreds of folders in their Personal Folders file. Does anyone know of a way to script that job, given a list of names? A related issue: they want to share repositories of mail notes. One way is to keep them in a .pst file, but user A has to close his Outlook so user B can access it - inconvenient. User A sharing his inbox with user B works, but B might see some stuff A wants confidential. I suggested a common mailbox to which they could forward only messages they want to share. How are your users sharing such stuff? We have an Exchange 5.5/SP3 server and use Outlook 2000. TIA - Bob Bob Peitzke Information Systems Manager Sander A.
