My contacts folder is in one personal folder, but should be in the
main personal folder. How do I move contacts folder to a different
personal folder? This is on a standalone computer, not connected to
Exchange..

thanks,

Can you drag and drop the contacts from the one Contacts folder to the other
Contacts folder?

There is no 'Contacts Folder' in the first 'Personal Folder' and when
I try to add a 'Contacts Folder' a message is displayed that that
folder already exists. When I use the 'Go' dropdown and click 'Folder
List' the 'Contacts Folder' is displayed, but is not connected to my
inbox. that is when I launch a new email to click 'To' the 'Outlook
Address Book' is displayed, which is empty with no means to get to
Contacts.

You have two issues. The first is, I suspect, tjhat you are using the Mail
view of your Navigation Pane. The Mail view will show only folders that hold
mail items. The Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes folders are not among
them. Instead, click the "Folder List" button at the bottom of the Nav Pane,
or press Ctrl-6, and you should be able to see all of your folders. I'll bet
you'll see Contacts then.

The second problem is that you have either not installed the Outlook Address
Book service correctly in your mail profile or you have not enabled your
Contacts folder as an address book. RIght-click Contacts and choose
Properties. Click the "Outlook Address Book" tab and make sure the box
labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is checked. Close the
dialogue and restart Outlook.

If the check box I mentioned is grayed out, then tell us what version of
Outlook you're using so we can help further.

I am running Outlook 2007 and my box is grayed out. Is this what is keeping
me from being able to add contacts to my groups?

Outlook doesn't have contact "groups". To what are you referring?
