Duplicate contact folders in Address Book

[Guest]

In My Contacts I show one Contacts Folder, however when I go to mail and
click on the address book Icon, there are two Contacts listed. The first one
is empty and the second one contains my contacts. How can I delete the empty
Contacts folder.

Remove it here:

books > Outlook Address Book > Change.

I have only one contact folder under outlook adress book (tools/address
book/change), but when I hit the "TO" button I get an error message saying
"the contacts folder for this address book cannot be opened". If I hit OK

Remove it here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change.

I have only one contact folder under outlook adress book
(tools/address book/change), but when I hit the "TO" button I get an
error message saying "the contacts folder for this address book
cannot be opened". If I hit OK on that I get a choice of two
outlook address books, both called contacts and the second has all my
contacts.

For Outlook 2002/2003, click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or chage existing
directories or address books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book adn click
Change. Remove the invalid contacts reference there.
