What is happening when you attempt to forward? Is it failing completely, is message going out with the contact data in the message body or are you sending a winmail.dat? Does Forward as vCard on the Actions menu work? If the contact data is in the message body or an empty message gets sent, it's a TNEF issue. You need to send contacts forms as RTF - this is set for the recipient in Outlook (double click on address in To field) and is also set server side, to prevent RTF mail to internet addresses. Look in the global settings section of the exchange system manger. Winmail.dat is caused by sending RTF to non-Outlook users. Forwarding as vCards should fix either problem. -----Original Message----- We have an Exchange 2000 server behind an ISA2000 (all part of a multi-server BackOffice 2000 installation). Outlook XP users cannot forward another contact to an external recepient. {Forwarding accomplished by right clicking on the contact you want to send to someone and selecting Forward from the context menu. Then choosing a contact from an e-mail enabled contacts folder.} This sends with no problems when the intended recepient is selected from the Global Contacts. This doesn¹t seem to be a problem from 2KPro clients. Any suggestions? Haven't found anything on technet yet, (but I will admit, I haven't looked too hard yet.....I figured I would look more while seeing what the lists have to say.
