Thanks all for your input - it is appreciated. Looks like I have some more
reading up to do. Michael - I'll give categories a try.

Again - thanks all.

Andrew, additionally to Brian, you might assign categories to your
contacts.
Then switch to a view by categories. Benifit is, you still have all of
your
contacts only once - no double entries.

Hi all - I am using Vista and Outlook 2007.

I am trying to organize my contacts by creating Contact Groups and moving
individual contacts into their appropriate group.

1. I select 'Contacts' in the Navigation Pane by clicking on it
2. I click on 'Add New Group' and get a Group Bar (?) titled 'New Group'
with that name highlighted
3. I rename that group to 'Family' and press enter
4. At this point:
a. I cannot open the group to add contacts
b. I cannot drag an existing contact into the group
c. I cannot do anything at all with this group except for those
actions offered in it's context menu; ie, I can Rename it, Remove it,
Move
it Up, Move it Down, etc. I just can't get any contacts into it.

Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong?

Thanks
