I have posted previously with a problem I have deleting bad contacts in an existing "Contacts" folder. The PSt is under 2g and I have tried to run the repair file all to no avail.

I have exported the contacts file and to excel, rebuilt and placed it in a new contacts file "Contacts Rev" is there any way to delet or rebuild my pst file as a whole using the new contacts rev folder as my new "Contacts" file.?

Look on the Slipstick site for Ffolder Utility:

Ffolder Utility: Utility to rename or delete "special"
Outlook folders such as the Calendar, Tasks, Inbox, and
Contacts. VB source code included.
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/gallery/index.htm#ffolder

Look on technet for the information on how to rebuild the
Contacts system folder with the "/ResetFolders" switch:

OL2000: Additional Command-Line Switches
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b197180

Then you can transfer them back into the system folder after
the rebuild.
