MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2006Contact confusion
I noticed that I had a group in my contacts list called Computers. I also had a contact list or address book under My Contacts called Computer. These were not the same list. Did I simply confuse a contact list with a distribution list? Hard to know. The term "contact list" could mean anything. Describe what you mean more accurately.

I have several sets of Contacts including Computer. Under Contacts (default) I have a group defined by the term Computers which is bolded. Until now I thought these were the same lists, but they are not identical. It appears I had updated one or the other over time thinking I was on the same list. > Hard to know.

We can't read minds. My best guess is that you are using Outlook 2003 in the Contact Folder view. If you want to know exactly what Contact Folders your profile contains, use Folder List view to examine your entire folder hierarchy. At some point you may have dragged and dropped one Contacts Folder into another.
