Russ thanks but the article did not help.
I think the problem is simple:
When I click on the “to� for a new message the address book shows all
duplicates. Yet the contacts folders do not show the duplicates.

I suppose the only way to fix it is to export the contacts and important
mail and then delete the profile and start over

Using Outlook 2003. In our contacts we have three folders: 1. “Contact�,
2.
“Golf Members�, and 3. “Social Members�. There are no duplicates in any
of
the contact folders.

Yet, when starting a new e mail message, when I click on the “to�
button
to
select a name there are duplicate names in the “contact� folder, there
is
no
“Golf Members� or “Social Members� folder, but there are folders
called
�Golfing� listed several times.

I do not know where the “Golfing Members� folder came from let alone
several
times, why there are duplicates in the contact folder and cannot find
the
other two folders.

I went under tools and address book removed the several listings of the
“Golfing Members� folder (which had no names in it). But still cannot
find
where the Golf Members and Social members are.

Tried scanpst did not help.

Remember the “Golfing Members� and Social folder are listed in contacts
just
NOT when I click on the “to� for a new message.

I need help thanks

Clarify what you mean by "shows all the duplicates." Do you mean duplicate
folders or duplicate Contacts within each folder? Can you think of any
changes you made to your Outlook setup just before the problem arose? Do you
run sync software against your Outlook profile?
Whatever you do, do NOT export or import any Outlook data. That will only
create new problems and fix none.

When I click on the "to" button (in a new message to find address) it shows
duplicate folders (contacts) and duplicate names in each folder.

However from Outlook Today I click on contacts I see only one of each folder
and only one of each name in the folder unlike when I go to the "to" button

To my knowledge nothing has been done to outlook, it was fine last week.

With so little information it is hard to advise you from a newsgroup. I
still suggest posting the information I requested or resetting your Outlook
Address Book settings with the instructions I posted. I cannot help until
you do and post the results.

I followed the directions you suggested. It worked about 2/3rds.
The dupliates were removed but when I added contacts back, only "contacts"
were there not "golfing members" and "social members".

Both golfing and social have folders same as contacts with names and address.

I created a new contact folder called "New Names" added one name. This
folders shows up but not the other two?

I suspect you didn't follow all the instructions. For example, did you
enable the folders that aren't appearing to be shown as email address books?
Do so in the Properties of each folder (i.e., R click menu)
