You have a contact database in a public folder? Create a copy of that contact database and store it in a public folder. Run the import routine on the original contact list and advise users to access the secondary list while the data import is running. Or are you saying that none of the public folders are accessible during the import process?

I have an issue with Public Folders that I am hoping you could help me with. We have a contact list in public folders that contains Agents information. We often have to update this contact list and we would like to be able to Export information from a database to this contact list. The problem is Outlook will not let you access the public folders during the import/export process. Is there anyway that you know of to do this? Even a work around would be helpful at this point. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!
