Hi Sue,

How do I build address lists for the Outlook Address Book? I have lots of
contacts in my Contacts Folder and I'd like to categorize them into 2 or 3
major address books that I can choose from rather than have to search
through
one large list to find someone. How do I create multiple address books?

Provide the necessary information. Just simple things like your Outlook
version and how you added the Outlook Address Book Service to your profile
would be a nice start.

I upgraded from xp using office 2003 to a new computer with vista and office
2007

I used a Belkin transfer cable to do all the dirty work for me

....and when you connected the cable, what process did you use to move the
data along it? Be specific or no-one can work out what has caused your
problem, thus how to solve it wil also remain a mystery.

Here are some tips about how to post questions:

Known issue. You never use Windows Easy transfer with Outlook. It creates a
corrupt profile to which the Outlook Address Book Service cannot be added or
repaired. Create a new profile from scratch. Migrate your data correctly
this time by opening your Outlook Data File in the new profile. Instructions
are posted here daily.
