Default Contact Groups

Do not multipost.
Do not post inaccurate information.
Your question was answered quickly and accurately in the group in which you
first posted. Multi-posts will be ignored (unless of course you post
inaccurate information therein). Most savvy Outlook users quickly figure out
what Navigation Pane Groups really are and how to use them.
The term "group" has no specific meaning in Outlook. It can mean anything.
It is your job to clarify what you mean by it when you post a question.

Didn't answer your question did they? I have the same needs, and exactly
the
same problem, and there isn't a single MVP out there that seems to
understand
that I don't want distribution lists in one grouping, or categories for
that
matter. I want completly new groups, and the entries won't be duplicated
from one group to another.

I guess Microsoft just gave us another 'nothing' to work with if the MVPs
can't understand our request and give some help.

Oh, well

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
