What do you mean?
What does an address book have to do with anything? Outlook doesn't use
address books. It uses Contacts Folders. You can display any Contacts Folder
in the address book view. Is that what you're trying to ask?

What part of your question did I not answer?
Explain what you don't understand.

Ok I understand how to make the folder. But I want to import a new set of
contacts into contacts folder2 (The one I just created). I have contacts in
contact1 folder now and want to keep them seperate. I see file-import but how
do I select which folder it only goes to.?

Thanks

You will need to explain what you mean by a "new set of contacts." Where and
in what format do these "new contacts" exist now?
You would never use import to transfer Outlook data. You only use import if
your data is in non-Outlook file format and you need to convert it to
Outlook's file format.

So why did you keep all that a secret? Do you expect us to read your mind?
Post a clear question now if you have one. None has been posted so far.

Use Outlook's Import Wizard. Excel is a file type from which you can import.
Make sure you name a range in Excel and map fields correctly. Instructions
abound in Help files and on the Internet.

> Isync outlook with my Ipaq,

SOmething to keep in mind: your iPAQ has only ONE contacts folder and you
will not be able to sync with it any Outlook folder other than your default
Contacts folder.
