Can someone advise if it is possible to create two different contact listings
with MS Outlook? I use Outlook to sync my mobile phone(s) & I would like to
have two differ contact lists specific to a particular phone.

Thanks in advance.

You need to find out how the phone you have synchronises.

Thanks Judy - the phones (both Nokia's) can sync but I want to be selective
in terms of the contacts I transfer across to each of the phones hence the
question is can I have two different contact list in Outlook?

If the phone synchs to your primary Contacts, just make a second one (it can
be a sub-folder or located elsewhere in the folder list) Use the Folder
List (I'll assume you have 2003), Right click | New Folder | contains
Contact Items | give it a name.

Select and drag the Contacts you don't want to synch into that folder.

Thanks Judy. I appreciate your time to respond.

BTW my set-up is Office 2003 with Win XP Pro (SP2).
