Ugh. I had a bad feeling ... but I had to go there. Ughly.

So what I want is this:

Use Contacts as my main place for names and phones and addresses etc.

Have a separate, stand-alone "Address Book" that is a duplicate of the
Contacts, and that can be automatically updated from within Outlook. I'd
rather not have to do the exportimport routine, if possible.

Question: Can I get what I want?
