We have several different folders dividing up our company contacts. There is
an "all buyers" folder, which everyone is in, and then folders for each
specific type of buyer. In the OE address book, which we used to use, if I
copied a contact from the All Buyers folder and pasted it into another
folder, and then made a change in the info to the contact in the All Buyers
folder, the change would also be made to the contact in the other folder. It
is like they were linked together. How can I make Outlook do this also?
This is important because there are buyers that may be in 4 or 5 different
folders, and if their info changes (say they move) we don't want to retype
that info 5 different times.

Thanks

outlook doesn't work like that. Use categories instead of separate folders -
you can create filtered views to show only items in specific categories.
