Hello Jack,

Perhaps using "Show All Contents" view will help in locating the problem.

Open the address book by choosing Start on desktop, on it's menu select
Programs, on it's expanding menu select Accessories, on it's expanding menu
choose Address Book.

In the Address Book dialog window choose File, on it's menu choose Show All
Contents.

Hope this helps,
Ken

| One sub-folder removed was Kinfolks, but I left a group that was named
| Kinfolks. In updating that group, I copied the appropriate addresses over
| from Jack's Contacts.
|
| Now, I'm trying to once again create a Kinfolks sub-folder, but OE is not
| letting me do that. I keep getting a pop-up that says, "An entry with
this

sub-folder
| and a group with the name "Kinfolks."
