Thank you so much for that tip. I will click the plus sign in the future. I
was able to re-create the problem. I have been dragging down a bit on the
second "click" which highlights the entire list and then kicks out one of the
categories.

Normally one clicks on the + sign to expand a collapsed list. Might be worth
a try. There's still no way for us to figure out what else is happening.

While in Outlook Contacts, the current view is "Phone List". "Arranged
by"
is Custom and set to be collapsed until I double click on the category.
Sometimes when I double click on the category bar to view the contacts,
all
of the contacts become selected (this happens automatically) and then any
contact with more than one designated category loses one of the
categories.

you are doing and in what view. We can't watch you.

I am having a problem with my contact categories. From time to time
when I
double click on a category, all of the contacts within that category
are
automatically highlighted. If any contact within that category has
been
assigned two categories, the system unassigns the contact from the
other
category. Any idea what is happening?
