Default Problem adding address book

VanS wrote:
Hello,
I am trying to add an additional address book or folder (not sure how
structured) to my existing Outlook contacts book. When I go through the Email
accounts to do so and select the address book type as Outlook I get an error
message saying "This account or directory type already exists and cannot be
specified twice." So I create a personal address book and try to convert to
Outlook address book and/or try to designate it as an email address book but
can't find where to do so.
I'm not that adept with Outlook and the OL documentation didn't seem to be
too helpful.
Can anyone tell me how I can add my new address book to the Outlook address
book folder?
Thanks,
Van


I don't know from your post where or what EXACTLY you are doing -
Outlook doesn't use Addressbooks or PABs - at least not since Outlook 2002.
In Outlook do File-New-Folder and in the drop-down box under "Folder
Contains" change to Contact Items.
