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.
