Try restarting Outlook after you remove the Outlook Address Book, then add it back in, then restart again. After that, set the property on each folder.

I am still confused, Could you do a step by step process for me by maybe
inserting the text of what you mean "into the text" that I first listed, so
that I can see a step by step how to do this? I have 3 sets of contacts,
Contacts, Travel, and Photo. Appreciate your time, this is driving me crazy
for 2 days!

now that you helped solve the last problem, I also wanted you to know I am
seeing TWO peronsal folders in the left pane, this is so confusing and it
won't let me delete one of them. I don't want to screw up what we just did,
or does one thing have nothing to do with the other? Outlook 2003 Thank you
in advance for your last quidk response.
