MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2003Multiple Contacts Sub-folders
I receive a lot of e-mails from different vendors. I used Outlook 2002, were I have created subfolders under my Contacts folders to identify the different Vedors & Suppliers ... The problem is when I receive an e-mail from a vendor and I want to check whether I have his e-mail or not, I right- click on the e-mail address and from the menu I select Lookup Contact ... Outlook only searches the Root Folder and not the subfolders ... And if I click on Add Contact, it will be added under the Contacts root regardless of my sub-folder structure ... Is there a way to search through multiple Contacts Sub- folders when Looking up a e-mail address? Not using the behavior you're trying. However, why not just use categories in one contacts folder rather than using multiple contacts folders. It can often work better as you only have to look in one place. You can view your contacts by category so you still see the groupings you've set up.

Thank you for your reply ... Actually I am using the Categories too ... To give you a little background of the size of Contacts that I am dealing with is almost 38,000 Contacts ... The response is extreemly slow if you have all 38,000 contacts under the Contacts folder, but dividing them into Sub-folders will ease managing them and also when I need to Export a specific sub-folder for e-mailing purposes ... Thanks again, reda >-----Original Message----- >Not using the behavior you're trying. However, why not just use categories [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >. Ah, ok. That's true, speed would definitely be a problem. The simple find won't work on multiple contact folders. Sorry.
