Duplicate Contacts mess
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. Lee |

Why don't you just remove the invalid entry from the list the address book
displays? Seems simple enough. -- Russ Valentine "Lee" wrote in message ... The pc has Office/Outlook 2003 with one user.

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.

I must check that again when I go back. I believe that dialogue is now
empty. "Russ Valentine" wrote in message ... Open the Address Book Tools Options... -- Russ Valentine "Lee" wrote in message ... "Russ Valentine" wrote in message ...
