MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2006how do I remove my duplicate Contact folder from the address book?
I moved my contacts into the contacts folders of the address book but it created 2 CONTACTS FOLDERS the default CONTACTS is empty and when I try to open the address book I get "The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened.....". Then from the dropdown I select the next Contacts folder and I get my addres list. How can I switch the default folder or can I eliminate the first Contact folder (empty one) and leave only one in it? Hi Ivan, under "Tools/Addressbook/Tools/Options" here you can change the default addressbook. Change the setting for "Show this addressbook first" -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Share your contacts, calendars or e-mails http://www.publicshareware.com >I moved my contacts into the contacts folders of the address book but it > created 2 CONTACTS FOLDERS the default CONTACTS is empty and when I try to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > How can I switch the default folder or can I eliminate the first Contact > folder (empty one) and leave only one in it?

Hi Russ, Ivan If you delete an Addressbook under: > Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address > books > Outlook Address Book > Change. > you have restart Outlook to update this setting. Without a restart the contact folder is still available in the OAB list if you click on the "To" field. -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Share your contacts, calendars or e-mails http://www.publicshareware.com > Remove the invalid Contact Folder reference here: > Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> How can I switch the default folder or can I eliminate the first Contact >> folder (empty one) and leave only one in it? Right. All changes to the OAB require a restart. Always have.
