| No. I can't tell you what you did. Only you were there. I don't even know
| what you mean by your statement. It is certainly possible to import the
| contents of a PAB into your Contacts Folder. Indeed, that is the way most
of
| us migrated from the PAB to Contacts many years ago when the PAB was no
| longer used. But you should not have both a PAB and your Outlook Contacts
in
| the same profile since the latter replaced the former.
| There's a good comparison of the Personal Address Book and Contacts here
| that will bring you up to date:
