Brian, I am sorry that my mother is confusing you. I love her, but she is not
getting it. Here is the deal: My husband and I have separate e-mail
identities. The problem is that I want to use Microsoft Outlook for my e-mail
contacts ONLY. When I open Microsoft Outlook and then click on CONTACTS, both
mine and my husband's e-mail contacts come up. How can I put just my e-mail
contacts into Microsft Outllook? I trie d to just delete his in Outlook, but
it erased them from his e-mail accout when I did that. HELP!!!

Use separate email profiles and only store contacts for each person in their profile.

I'm sorry, but I don't undersatnd the reference to "my mother". You have
not included any context in your message and are posting it as a new topic
instead as a reply to a previous message.

If you want to separate youre husband's and your data, you have a few
choices: the best is for each of you to have your own Windows login. Then
there's no way your data and his will mix unless you do so deliberately.
The next best choice, in my opinion, is for each of you to have a separate
mail profile, created using Control Panel's Mail applet. Another choice is
to jsut have more than one Contacts folder in the PST and you keep your data
in one and his in another. Is this any clearer to you?
