MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2007Duplicate Contact List
I have 3 Contact Lists in my Outlook 2003. One is completely blank and I want to remove it but don't know how. One list is titled Contacts in Personal Folder and then 2 others named just "contacts" One contact list and the personal folder contact list contain information and one is blank. How do I get them to all merge or delete the blank one? Thanks for any help You'll have to post more accurately for anyone to help you in a newsgroup. We could have no idea what you might mean by the term "Contact List." State clearly what you mean and precisely where you are seeing these "duplicate" lists. For extra credit, you could even include the steps you used to create this mess.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I have 3 Contact Lists in my Outlook 2003.

Thanks for any help When I go into outlook 2003 and I click on my Contacts tab I get a screen that says My Contacts at the left and below that is Current View. Directly under the My Contacts I have 3 items that I can click on - one says Contacts in Personal Folder. If I click that I get a list of my contacts that I have input. Below that I have two more "contacts" listed. If I click on one of the contacts it too opens a list of contacts to the right. The third contact item if clicked on is blank. I want to either combine these three lists or delete two of them and I do not know how to do that. Sorry for the inacurate post before I've never done this. Thanks. > You'll have to post more accurately for anyone to help you in a newsgroup. > We could have no idea what you might mean by the term "Contact List."

Thanks for any help Can't you just move everything into your default Contacts Folder then delete the other 2?

How exactly do you move them? I have the same problem, but I have more than 1400 names in one list and 1200 in the other. Many of the names are duplicated. How do you move them without individually re-entering everything from one list to the other? Will duplicate names make a second listing which will then have to be individually deleted?

If you think you'll have duplicates, then run a duplicate checker after you consolidate your folders: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contacts.htm#dupes SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Mr. Valentine~When you say "can't you just move everything?"

I can just right click and delete because when I do on 2 of the lists there is no function to delete the list only one of the 3 will allow me to right click with the delete contact option - I'm stuck > Same as with any other program: Edit > Select All > Edit > Move to Folder... > If you think you'll have duplicates, then run a duplicate checker after you [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] > >> >> > do I get them to all merge or delete the blank one?

I've never seen anyone mess up a profile to the point that they couldn't even delete a Contact. State more clearly why you can't delete a Contact and how you are trying.

Even if you don't know the problem was created, we still need a more accurate description of what's happening than you've provided. To say you "can't delete a Contact" doesn't really tell us anything. You need to tell us exactly what you are doing and what happens when you try. This is a newsgroup. We can't see what you're doing or read your mind, and you need to bear that in mind when you post a problem.
