When composing an email, when go to address the note, it appears that
there are 2 Contact files - 1 is "blank" and the other has lots of my
contacts. It is the latter contact file that I enabled to use as my
address book. Initially address book comes up the first one and I get
error message. Then I toggle to the second one and all the names are
accessible.
How do I get rid of the one that appears blank, so only one contact
file appears when I go to address an email?

ToolsEmail AccountView or change existing directories or address
booksNext. Select "Outlook Address Book" and click Change. Delete the
bogus reference there.
