Default PLEASE HELP!! My contact list(s) are out of control!!!

I apparently have more than one contact list, but just one contact folder.
The addresses in the folder are synced to my PPC, but they are not the same
as the ones in my address book when I click the book icon on the toolbar. So
if I update one on the listing in the Contact Folder, it does not appear in
the address book and does not sync to my PDA. HELP!!! I need to have one
contact list on my PC and PPC.

Thanks,
Summarah

State your Outlook version. Why don't you just remove the outdated
references you don't need? In some versions you do that he
Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Changeā€¦

Sorry about that. I'm using Outlook 2002 SP3. I have deleted everything I
could find and added it back. After I removed the Outlook Address Book, there
are no address books, but all the contacts are still in the folder. So I add
it back, and it's the same issue and this one is the one that syncs to my
PPC. I checked "Show this folder as an e-mail address book" in the folder
properties. I must be missing something, because the two contacts lists still
exist.

Thanks,
Summarah

What we're missing is a clear description of the problem. Slow down. State
clearly how many Contact Folders you have in your profile (make sure you use
Folder List view to examine your entire folder hierarchy). Then state where
you are seeing these "extra" folders that you think don't belong.

Okay. I have four email accounts in Outlook. Two of these have contacts
folders, but that is not the problem. It is not a folder issue. I am very
confident in manipulating folders on the folder list and that sort of thing.

The problem is that when I update or add a contact in the Contacts folder,
the changes will not appear in the address book. Even the contact will not
appear if I added it in the Contacts folder. I have no idea where the address
book contacts are coming from. So if I add a contact to my Contacts folder,
then I go to send an email, I cannot select that contact to send the email to
because they are not there.

Thanks for your patience and your help,
Summarah

That simply means you are not adding the Contact to the same Folder you are
displaying in the address book view.

Or it could mean that the contacts being added don't have email or fax
addresses, but the OP doesn't post enough info to know.

Obviously. I assumed that since the OP was trying to send an email to this
Contact, that the Contact had an email address. Maybe even that is assuming
too much.
