Use categories instead. Assign each state a category and mark your contacts
with the category.

It was suggested I use Outlook for the hundreds of names and addresses for
our business so I read all the tutorials today. Since we separate
everything
by state, I'm confused as to whether I should use the folders and have 50
different ones or separate by contacts. Any suggestions?
