Hi,
Searching this group, I see many posts asking how users can implement
multiple contact folders ("address books"). My problem is the reverse: I
don't know why, but on the pulldown menu under "Outlook Address Book," I
have TWO folders labeled "Contacts." I think this resulted from an earlier
attempt to export my old list from a different computer. In any event, what
a pain trying to manage them. I never know from which folder my
auto-complete entries are being drawn, so when I update a contact I have to
do it in both folders. But I haven't yet found a way to either merge the
folders, or at least to delete one of them. Anyone?
Thanks very much,
Brett

Since you don't mention your Outlook version, the following is for OL
2002/2003

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address
books>Next.
Select the Outlook Address Book service and click Change. Select the bogus
folder and click Remove Address Book.

For Outlook 2000 CW, click Tools>Services. Select the Outlook Address Book
and click Properties. Select the bogus folder and click Remove Address
Book.
