How can I "save contact" to "contacts1" folder instead of a new folder
called contacts. When I "add to outlook contacts" it saves in a different folder and I would prefer to have all contacts in "contacts1" folder. Right now, I have 2 contact folders and it would be nice to have everything in one. |

Instead of Save and Close, use the File | Move to Folder command.

Thank you, Sue, but I'm afraid I was not clear in my posting. I don't want
to save the whole email, just the email address to "add to outlook contacts". I seem to have 2 contact folders. When I try to add the new information, it goes into the wrong contact folder instead of the one that I always use. This leaves me 2 folders to search in case the person I'm seeking is not in the usual one. I'm just trying to get all of the contacts into one folder. Even if I "copy contacts" it still leaves me with 2 folders - only with an additonal sub-folder for contacts1 making a total of 3 folders. If I import the info, it will just reoccur when I save another contact so I'm trying to see if there is a setting or how I can get just one contact folder. Is there any way to do that?

Who said anything about saving the email message? What I suggested is that when the contact is open -- the contact that appears when you click "add to contacts" -- you use the File | Move to Folder command to store it in whatever folder you prefer.
As for your other problem, if you want to consolidate data from two folders into one, you need to copy or move the items in the folder, not copy the entire folder. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "Ace" wrote in message ...
