I am using XP Pro 2002 SP2, and Outlook 2000. I really need help to manage
my address book and contacts. My use is personal, not business so I don't
need the features for business.

When I upgraded to XP I ended up with lost address books. In order to
restore them I had to create a "New" Personal address book. It doesnt
seem
to be conected to my Contacts list and runs separately from it.

I have tried to "merge address book with contacts" and all I get are more
copies each time I merge in my Contacts folder, BUT not all the addresses
transfer. (I have the box checked to check for duplicates---apparently it
doesn't). It is also not merging all the files.

Lastly, is there a way I can delete my address book and just use my
contacts
list? It has all the information I need (address book doesn't). Of
course,
I first need to merge them! Only solution I have found is to go into each
entry and cut and paste information---would take way to long. I just need
a
simple address book with all the contact information.

Help, I'm not the most computer savy person, but I know enough to get into
trouble! Searched all the "Help" areas, nothing.
