Hi, I just migrated to Outlook 2007 Bèta and am having a bit of
trouble with my address book. I migrated from a non-English version of
Office 2003, and now I have two address contact folders, "Contacts" and
"Contactpersonen" (the dutch version). Outlook won't let me delete
"Contacts" because it's probably the standard Outlook file or
something. When I try to use the pull-down menu to copy everything from
"Contactpersonen" to "Contacts", it creates a subdirectory in
"Contacts" but it won't put the contacts in the root folder... I just
don't get it?! Help!

Where are you seeing this duplicate? In the Address Book view or in the
Navigation pane?
How did you migrate your data to the beta version?

I'm seeing it in the Navigation Pane. I just did an update on Office,
but have been moving some .pst files because I couldn't get rid of a
data file Office had created. Could this have caused the problem?

Open the "Contactpersonen" folder, select all the items in it with CTRL-A,
and then click EditCopy to folder. Specify the Contacts folder as the
destination. You can't copy the contents of the folder by copying the
folder itself.

Yes. If you can't R click and close the folder you don't want, you have a
corrupt profile. You probably have a corrupt profile anyway if you just did
an in place upgrade. Always create a new profile if you attempt an in place
upgrade, especially with a beta.
