I have 3 Contact Lists in my Outlook 2003. One is completely blank and I
want to remove it but don't know how. One list is titled Contacts in
Personal Folder and then 2 others named just "contacts" One contact list and
the personal folder contact list contain information and one is blank. How
do I get them to all merge or delete the blank one? Thanks for any help

You'll have to post more accurately for anyone to help you in a newsgroup.
We could have no idea what you might mean by the term "Contact List." State
clearly what you mean and precisely where you are seeing these "duplicate"
lists. For extra credit, you could even include the steps you used to create
this mess.

When I go into outlook 2003 and I click on my Contacts tab I get a screen
that says My Contacts at the left and below that is Current View. Directly
under the My Contacts I have 3 items that I can click on - one says Contacts
in Personal Folder. If I click that I get a list of my contacts that I have
input. Below that I have two more "contacts" listed. If I click on one of
the contacts it too opens a list of contacts to the right. The third contact
item if clicked on is blank. I want to either combine these three lists or
delete two of them and I do not know how to do that. Sorry for the inacurate
post before I've never done this. Thanks.

Can't you just move everything into your default Contacts Folder then delete
the other 2?

Mr. Valentine~When you say "can't you just move everything?" How exactly do
you move them? I have the same problem, but I have more than 1400 names in
one list and 1200 in the other. Many of the names are duplicated. How do
you move them without individually re-entering everything from one list to
the other? Will duplicate names make a second listing which will then have
to be individually deleted? Thank you.

Same as with any other program: Edit Select All Edit Move to Folder...
If you think you'll have duplicates, then run a duplicate checker after you
consolidate your folders:
