Default Duplicate Contacts mess

Why don't you just remove the invalid entry from the list the address book
displays? Seems simple enough.

How Russ? I'm not in front of the machine right now and I run O2007 so I
can't check, but I don't recall an option to remove in that dialogue. The
only option there is to remove individual contacts.

The pc has Office/Outlook 2003 with one user. It was originally
configured, for some reason to do with importing, with several data
files. To simplify I moved all the messages within Outlook then hid the
extra data files in Data File Management. The problem is that there are
two Contacts lists. I have it so that one pops up when the Address Book
icon is pressed but when I do Rt-Clk Add to Contacts it gets added to the
other one, which I assume is part of one of the other .pst files. When I
look at the dialogue that is supposed to display a list of Contact
folders none is displayed. To further complicate matters I managed to
rename the "wrong" Contacts to Contacts2 and now it doesn't appear in the
Address Book dropdown any more but it still appears as default in the
Navigation Pane. I am not worried that much about preserving the
contents, I just want a single Contacts list. I kind of thing that the
"wrong" one is actually the right one, and, well I am confused now and
need a clear head to suggest a straight path to righting this ship.
