Can I help with OCD? Perhaps. But my medical license is only valid in
certain states.

I think I figured it out Diane. I have not created associations between
Contacts at this point yet. When I do, they appear there (only when I
create
the association from my contact). If I create it from another Contact,
it
appears in their Activities/Contacts drop down list, but not in mine. It
is
a little quirky but not critical as once I set up all these associations,
I
will still be able to see them easily enough. Especially in Detailed
Address
Cards if I show the Contacts field.

Here is the last piece of the puzzle I need to to understand the whole
thing. To reiterate my main question: Why, if there are no associations
between my contacts currently (including my own), would ALL my contacts
appear in my own contacts Activity window under the default pane 'ALL
ITEMS?'

If you can clarify this behavior for me, I think I will finally be an
advanced Outlook amateur! Next up on deck... forms, lol. Thanks so
much.

I suppose you can try a new profile, but I think its a bug, assuming
you
have contacts associated with your contact.

When I go to the Activities tab on my own personal contact, under All
Items
(by default) I see all the mail from any mail folder, contacts,
appointments,
tasks, recurring appointments (birthdays/anniversaries) etc.

Each other selction from the drop down box results in a view with the
corresponding selection: well at least E-Mail, Notes, and Upcoming
Tasks/Appointments.

When I go to the Contacts drop down, it says "There are no items to
show
in
this view."

I do not understand why all the Contacts would appear in ALL ITEMS
but not
under CONTACTS which seems to be a subset of ALL ITEMS.

I am contemplating starting a new Profile if that will solve some of
the
quirks I am experiencing (waiting for advice on a couple of other
threads
regarding this), but I would still like to understand why this
occurred.

TIA for all help and I will be happy to provide additional details if
it
will be of assistance.
