I have over 4000 contacts in Outlook.  I've recently had to move my PST file
back to an older computer because my new computer failed.  There is only one
user, me.  But somehow, there are multiple contact files associated with the
Outook program.  When Outlook cannot find a contact (always when I start a
new message since the mvoe) it gives me the option of selecting another
contacts folder.  Most are named "contact."  Yet, when I click on contacts,
all my contacts are there, in duplicate (over 8000)...EXCEPT the new contacts
I've entered and contacts I've updated since moving back to the old computer.
I have searched for help online, but it produced 0 results.  I think one
problem is that I moved my PST file for easier back-up.  If anyone can help
me with this, please email me at caryn@sirenian.org.  Thanks!

How did you connect the data into Outlook?  What versions of Outlook are
involved?
