Contacts by Company: get two separate sets of Company (none)

's Computer Specifications

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.)

's Computer Specifications

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am getting the same issue on OL 2003. please let me know if you find the resolution!

's Computer Specifications

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 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).
