I have two sets of contacts under "my contacts" tab. One is labeled
"contacts" the other "contacts in personal folders". I don't know how I did
this, but I just want one contact list. Can I combine them?

Thanks,

Scot

Seems that your first job is to figure out where these two folders are, why
you have two, and which one you want to be your default. Once you do that,
just copy the Contacts from the one that is not your default into the one
that is.

Thanks. I think the reason this happened is because I got a new computer and
one set of contacts are from the old computers contacts file. Where would the
default folder typically be if I only had one? Maybe this will help me find
the other one too.

The default folder is the one that is just called "Contacts".....

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

Then it would be useful to know how you migrated your data to the new
installation. Something was done incorrectly. I would assume you do not want
two sets of Personal Folders in this profile. Use Folder List view to get a
full view of your Folder hierarchy. The root set of folders will be your
current default.

You probably think I am dumber than a retarded monkey.... I did this project
during chemotherapy treatments and was heavily drugged. I can't remember
what I did. You are right, I don't want to have two.

I am using vista. When I open my folder within the users file, there is an
icon labeled contacts. When I open it and dbl click the the WAB file it tell
me it is importing files. I assume that if I can find the old one and do the
same, it should importand therefor combine them, right? I have not been able
to find it even if I search for it.

It seems the new one is the root, the old one I cannot find.

Hopefully,

Scot

Stop. Folder List view is a view in Outlook, not Windows Explorer. It is the
only view in which you can see your entire folder hierarchy in your Outlook
data file. You can never view or manipulate Outlook data from Windows
Explorer.
