I know this thread has been dead for a while...but I just went searching for
an answer to this and found this thread. I also tried the moving thing and it
didn't work...what DID work was...I put 00 into the company field for each
individual contact, saved it, closed it, reopened, deleted the 00 and saved
again and it popped into the other list. I did it for all of them and now
they are all in one list.

It obviously isn't the QUICKEST solution...but it is the only thing that
worked. I did have to test to find out which list to do that too. One list
will move that way, the other will not. I am guessing that it goes back to
what Sue said originally which is that some of them had something in the
company place at one point and then they didn't and so they were seperate
from the ones that have never had anything in the Company spot.

Anyway, hope this helps anyone else with this issue.

Yeah, I've read that's the recommended "solution," but that doesn't work for
me. They don't move to the other group, in either direction.

I solved my problem by dragging one group of "none" to the other group of
"none", one at a time. Don't know why that worked, because it did not the
first time I tried it. Although I cannot prove it, it seems likely that the
source of the discrepancy was that some contacts were created in different
manners (for example, download vs. create from scratch).

Has anybody discovered a resolution to this? I have the same issue. It
seems to be somehow related to contacts called on my WM 6.1 cell phone that
connects via activesync.

I'm using Outlook 2007. Same problem with Company name. I've tried dragging
one group to the other, by group or by individual. This has done nothing.

What version of Outlook? I can try to duplicate it here.

I've collapsed the groups and tried to drag the group from one to the other
and vice versa. I've selected the whole of one group and dragged to the
target group title. I've tried selecting one contact from a group and
pasting it into the other. Each of these has given me a "tool tip" (the
arrow with the box, right?) and when I release it over the target group
(either header or within the group) nothing moves.

What exactly happens when you try? You should see a "tool tip" appear if you drag the items and hold the mouse over the target group.

Now I'm having difficulty dragging one set to the other. I've tried both
directions, both by dragging and by select, cut and paste, but they're not
moving. Please advise.

Drag one set to the other. Repeat the other way if necessary.

The reason you have two sets is that one represents items for which the Company value was never set, while the other is those items whose Company was once some non-blank value but is now blank.

When I sort Contacts by Company, I get two separate sets of "Company (none)"
and the rest of the company lists are accurate. How can I get these to be
one set? (They have different contacts in each list of 100+ "none"
companies.)
