Problem Statement: Mary wants to share a distribution list of
approximately 1000-2000 people with 3 other people.
Sorfar I found three forms of address books that we can use for this.
1. The Outlook contacts. The distribution list can only contain
around 130 people maximum. The requestor does not want to manage many
small separate lists. I have got the error regardless of using outlook
2003 or 2000 when trying to add more than 128 people.

2. Outlook Global Address Book. A contact alias would have to be made
for each new user. This is something that Mary does not have access to
do and the list would be updated often. Is there a way around this?
3. The personal address Book. This will let you add as many people as
you need to the distribution list. Yet, it sharing it is not trivial
as it only wants one person to use it at a time.....
Exporting or copying the address book and letting others have it are
not options as the list would always be changing.
At this point, Im guessing number 3 is what would be needed to be done.
The file maybe could be replicated automatically so that others could
share it but Im not sure to do this automatically each time the list is
updated?
Also, there appears to be some commercial vendors to share personal
address book. For instance: NetPAB:

However, upon installing the trial version, I got a blue screen of
death, "unexpected kernel mode trap", which rebooted my machine.
Although my machine is now okay after rebooting, Im not happy with this
so far.
Any advice is appreciated.
