I may be off base but feel I read in files that if you had multiple contact
folders with some of the same entries, changing data in one entry should
update in all same contacts.

Currently using 2K.

May be confused with other products that do or did that. Not currently using
Corel's address book that did it. Nor Outlook 97. Still have Outlook 98
around here as well, just not accessible at the moment.

I am wrong about the entries of same contact staying synced?
Or is something broken?

Thanks Milly,
Any suggestions?
Sometimes it just seems easier working from contact address books that have
been created for special groups.
I've been working toward using a master contact folder and using sort
features such as by category assigned, yet it still feels a little too much
to work with or something. Maybe just not used to that yet. Sort of like
getting used to an ergo keyboard maybe. Hand and wrist pains made me stick
with it and now I would never go back.

So open to suggestions, or I'll just keep trying.
Norman
