Default Setup two sets of Contacts?



I have Outlook 2003 running locally on my pc. I am not hooked up to any
network. I have a set of contacts now but want to add a new set of contacts
so I have a main and a secondary set of contacts. Is this possible? And if so
how do I do this?

I may also want to do three sets if possible later. I am syncing them with
my Ipaq also.

Thanks

Separate "sets" of Contacts means you create separate Contact Folders. Most
synch software will only synch with the default folder, so a better
alternative might be to create separate categories.
