Help with Multiple Contacts Lists Pls
I have Outlook 2003 and in my personal folder list have the default "Contacts
List" and also a list within the contacts 'file' I.E: it looks like this Contacts Nicks Contacts The active contacts list is Nick's contacts, in that this has all my entries, and the default Contacts list is empty. I can add new entries to the default list, but I cant import my "Nicks Contact" in to the default list. I want to do this, as I only need one contacts list. I can only delete "Nicks" Contacts list but cannot delet the default Contacts list. I can't even move the actvive list into the default. I need the default list as my active one, because when trying to sychronise my contacts to my PDA, by default, only the "Default Contacts" (empty one) is read. How can I just have the one list, or import "Nicks Contacts" in to the default contacts and therefore delete one of them? I know this sounds confusing, but I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks

How did you manage to do this? This required end user activity. Outlook
doesn't do this all by itself. Why wouldn't you just copy the contents of Nicks Contacts into your default folder, then delete the Nicks Contacts Folder? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nick" wrote in message ...

Help with Multiple Contacts Lists Pls
Hi Russ
This may originally happened when I imported a backup of the Outlook 2002 contacts in to a new installation 2003 Outlook. I can't quite remember, as I have put up with this for some time now. I can't copy the Nicks folder in to the default folder, because all that happens is another copy appears as "Nicks1". I then have: Contacts Nicks Contacts Nicks1 Contacts It just duplicates all the time. Really strange, as all I want to do is have one Contacts folder. There's no option to delete the default folder, just additional ones. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How did you manage to do this? This required end user activity.

Read my post again. You copy the contents, not the folder.
Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data. This is one reason why. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nick" wrote in message ...

Russ
Thanks for your help. Problem solved. I did move the contents of my contacts in to the default contacts. The only nag was having to block all 3,000 contacts manually to move them in. I couldn't find a command to automatically do this. Only "Copy" or "Move" folders (which duplicated the folders as you know) were the only options. Thanks anyway "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Read my post again. You copy the contents, not the folder. Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data.

The Edit menu contains the command to Move or Copy _to_ Folder, not move or
copy the folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Nick" wrote in message ... Russ Thanks for your help. Problem solved. I did move the contents of my contacts in to the default contacts.
