MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006How do I merge/rectify two contact folders?
I recently ugraded to Outlook 2003 from Outlook XP. When I go to my Contacts page, the left side vertical bar has CONTACTS. Under contacts, I have "my contacts", , "current view", etc on down the side. In the section under "my contacts", I have two address books, both named "contacts". I have no idea how the second list got there but it has been there for some time because many, but not all of the contacts are duplicated in the two files. The upper file called "Contacts" has a location of \\Archive Folders. The lower file has a location of \\Archive Folders\Inbox. I want to merge the two files into a single contacts file and delete duplicates. TKX Since Contacts are never archived, why do you feel you need to do this? I assume you mean you have two Contact Folders, not address books. Clarify what you are seeing.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I recently ugraded to Outlook 2003 from Outlook XP.

The folder list view shows you the hierarchy of your Outlook folders. If you have some Contacts in a secondary folder and want to amalgamate them into the primary folder, select the actual Contacts and drag to the primary folder to move them there.
