Hello to all!

Unfortunately, I don't have much time to research on this, so I kindly
request your input at the earliest convenience. I would like to have the
flexibility to reclassify my contacts in Outlook address book. How could I
move a contact that is, for example, in the "Business" address book to the
"Church" address book or vice-versa?

Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Edwin G.C.

Move the contacts between the Church folder & the Business folder. That's
how you're creating seperate 'address books', right?

Vince,

Thank you for taking the time and your response. I did realized I could just
darg and drop an item from one folder to another under Contacts same as one
could do in Mail folders. I was actually expecting to find a command "Move to
folder..." in Contacts to allow for this task; again something similar to
command available in Mail.

Dear Edwin,

the address book is not a file or a directory on your harddisk, the address
book is a kind of "filter" of your available contact folders in Outlook.

If you want to move a contact from the "Business" address book to the
"church" address book, you have to move this contact from the "Business"
contact folder to the "church" contact folder.

Oliver,

Same as in my reply to Vince, I want to thank you for taking the time and
your response. I did realize I could just darg and drop an item from one
folder to another under Contacts, same as one could do in Mail folders. I was
actually expecting to find a command "Move to folder..." in Contacts to allow

thanks!
