adding new contacts to sub-contacts folder
Here's my problem. I have a sub-folder contact list (a sub folder to
"Contacts" which I've labeled "attendees") to which I want to add email addresses directly from received emails. I know how to right-click when the cursor is over the 'from" name on the email message. The option states "Add to Contacts" then after clicking it the process of adding that email address works but, of course, it adds it to the main "Contacts" folder. How can I change it to add the email address (and thus this new contact) to my sub-folder "attendees". This would save a lot of time and effort. Thanks! Jack |

If you're comfortable doing visual-basic programming it probably wouldn't be too hard to write a macro that would do that for you. -- -Ben- Ben M.

adding new contacts to sub-contacts folder
When the contact item appears after you select Add to Contacts, don't click
Save and Close. Instead, choose File | Move to Folder and choose your Attendees folder. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "jf" wrote in message news:ikWmc.1115$xw3.95550@attbi_s04...
