Default Multiple folders in Outlook Adress Book

I'm using Microsoft Outlook and when I go to Tools then Address Book on the
right hand side there is a box that says Show Names From The: when I hit the
drop down box there are 4 different boxes: Outlook Adress Book (empty),
Collected Contacts, Contacts and Janie's Data Base.

Is there a way to make these lists into just one list?

Default Multiple folders in Outlook Adress Book

The address book view simply shows what you have told it to. If you only
want one Contacts Folder, just use one Contacts Folder. You're the one who
created 3.

Russ,
Thanks but I didn't set them up. So now I need to know if there is a way
that I can consolidate them into one?

Normally one would simply copy the Contacts from the extra folders into
their default folder, then delete the extra folders. After you do, then you
remove the reference to the extra folders from the address book view.
