Just tell the iPhone users they chose cool over functional. They lose.

From outlook, open GAL, highlight, right click, add. Simple enough for my users. The iphone does not allow access to the GAL. Besides its nice to know if co-workers are calling. So if I copy/add the GAL to the outlook (mailbox's) contact folder, and the windows smartphone and the iphone sync to the mailbox's contact folder, then on the smartphone/iphone the contact list will have the GAL entries (as a copy). Then the phone can use those entries as though they had been entered by hand. We only have 15 entries, and will probably not go past 20 too soon. However, this is something I am required to do.

I am hoping to find a way to update the outlook contact folder with the GAL for our smart phones. Right now, since most of our users cannot do this themselves, I have to access each user's outlook and add the new GAL entry to their outlook contact folder. Our smart phones (windows mobile, and iphones) sync with our exchange server. And everyone loves the up to date contacts and the contacts are there for when they receive or make a call. I call it mandatory convenience, and I am responsible for making it all work, all the time, especially for the new people. Gene Giannamore Abide International Inc.
