Hi Brian
The PST file is very large and I just archived it down to 100mb or so.
Outlook is version 2003 11.8010... SP2 and I use VP Professional, and
interesting enough I have the same problem on my office and I use windows
2000 server, same outlook.

I also use plaxo and that could be the common problem. and I can't use
the shift key to delete single or multiple contacts.

Will they delete if you hold down Shift while deleting? Can you empty your
Deleted Items folder, compact the data store, and then try again? If you're
using a PST, how large is it and what is your version of Outlook?
