Default Duplicate contact entries in address book...

Hello,

I've got duplicate contact entries in my Address book in Outlook 2003. How
would I get rid of the duplicates without manually going through the list
and deleting each one at a time? I've been using Outlook Express 6 address
book and when I installed Outlook 2003 it gave me the option to import all
my contacts and email messages and folders...did I do this correctly?

Thanks to all who reply,

Ismael

Are you sure these are duplicates?
Perhaps you did not realize that the Outlook Address Book lists each
electronic address for a Contact separately, including fax and mobile phone
numbers.
The Outlook Address Book contains no data. If you truly have duplicates, you
would see them in the Contacts Folder also. Do you?

Default Duplicate contact entries in address book...

Thanks for the quick reply...It's people like you that make the computing
world more enjoyable...I have two things shown in the drop down box under
the heading "Show Names from the:". They are "Contacts" and Outlook Address
Book". Nothing shows up in the "Outlook Address Book". All my contacts
that I can see are in the "Contacts". I've read and added the following to
my registry (Not before I created a restore point using the system restore
feature with WinXP Pro) obtained from the following website
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oeshare.htm

I've got duplicate contacts in my windows address book (WAB) and also in
"Contacts" of Outlook 2003. How can I prevent these duplicates in the
future and is there a program out there that can remove duplicate contacts
in the WAB and "Contact" of Outlook 2003?

You've introduced a completely different topic here. What does sharing your
Outlook Contacts Folder with the WAB have to do with your original question?
There are a number of good duplicate checkers to remove duplicates from your
Contacts Folder:
