I need to create a "group" which would only include certain contacts in my
Outlook 2003.
The Apple iPhone allows me to sync my contacts in Outlook 2003 for all
contacts or for "selected groups". I don't want to sync "all contacts" if I
don't have to. However, I don't know how to create a "group" in outlook that
iTunes would see? Could someone help?
If you have an iPhone, you would know what I'm talking about with the iTunes
interface for the iPhone syncing contacts for outlook 2003.

My Thanks to anyone that can help me!

Outlook uses separate Contact subfolders to organize Contacts, not groups.
Most synch software will only sync with your default folder, so why wouldn't
that work for you?

I think I know what your asking. As I said I would rather not sync ALL of
the contacts I have in my main (defautl) contacts folder. The main contacts
folder is the only contacts folder I have used for many years and benn
migrated all along from previous versions of Outlook. So if I only want
certain contacts to synce then I should create one or more contact folders
or subfolders. Then move all the contacts that I don't want to sync out of
the main to those I have created. This way those that are left in the main
folder would be the contacts I want synced.

I don't mind doing that and hope moving the contacts would be an easy task.
My only concern is that if I have several contact folders, will all of the
bells and whistles of 2003 be able to find a contact in the background as it
has in the past or just one main contact folder? For example when I want to
put a person in the "TO" address, will it automatically look through all the
other contact folders in addition to the main one to match up a name or will
I have to select each sub contact folder to search through?

As long as you enable each subfolder as an email address book they will
appear in the Outlook Address Book and each will be searched. Depending on
how you conduct your search, Outlook may stop searching after it finds the
first hit.
