Hi Russ,

I am currently using Outlook 2003

once I have opened outlook

on the right hand side i Have the following

Mail
Calender
Contacts
Tasks

I I click on 'Contacts' then as my original post says it displays
two separate 'contacts' of identical names,which to me as 'non techie'
appears strange.

I hope this helps
Kind regards

Unclear post.
Your Outlook version matters, not your OS.
No version of Outlook has a "Contacts Box" on the R hand side of the screen.
Explain what you mean and define your view.

Could someone please help. I am currently running windows 2003


When using Outlook,the Contacts Box on the right hand side of the screen
shows
2 Folders/Files( I am unsure of the exact name) with exactly the same
name.

Contacts ... no date held
Contacts ... 27 data items ( which contain my current contacts)

If I add data to the second folder/ file it also adds it to the first
folder
/ file
How can I delete the 'contacts' with no data


Has anybody any idea as to how i can ged rid of the 'contacts' with no
data
in it or do I have i just to put up with it.
