Local Data Group - Outlook Contacts vs Offline Contacts

[Domenic]

I'm familiar with creating Local Data Groups in Outlook.

With the Offline client, a Local Data Group is automatically created to sync
the owners contacts with the offline database.

The problem is that when the user clicks the Contacts chekbox from Outlook |
CRM | Options | Synchronization Tab
it uses the same Local Data Group that is used for the Offline database.

The problem is that I want ALL the contacts for all the accounts that I'm
the owner for in my offline database. I do NOT want all those contacts im my
Outlook contacts as there can be tens of thousands of contacts. In one case
the volume caused a user to exceed his allotted storage in Outlook.

Is there a way to have all the contacts populate the offline version and
create a separate Local Data Group that is for the Outlook contacts only on
the same PC?

The only option I can think of is to create a secondary Outlook
contact folder and copy across the contacts you are interested in and
ignore the primary.
