Updating & moving to another contact list doesn't update email add
If I update a contact with a new email address, then I move it to another
user's contact list, the old email address remains and the new email address is added as email2. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Thanks.

Updating & moving to another contact list doesn't update email
Outlook 2003. It is Contacts. Moving it from my Contacts, to one of my
attorney's contacts, by holding down the Ctrl. button and dragging the Contact to the attorney's. It will pop up with a box for the duplicate Contacts and I choose to update it, it will update, name, address, phone number, but puts the new email address as email2, and leaves the old one (if changed).

That is exactly what you told Outlook to do. Updating a Contact adds the new
information. It does not replace the old information. You didn't tell Outlook to replace the Contact. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "ChristyL" wrote in message ... Outlook 2003. It is Contacts.

That is right, but it works for almost all the fields, except the e-mail
field. Why is that and do you know how to fix it? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: That is exactly what you told Outlook to do. Updating a Contact adds the new information.

Nothing to fix. It adds the new email address just like you told it to.

Probably, unless you had chosen to replace the Contact instead of update it.

Updating & moving to another contact list doesn't update email
How would you choose to replace contact instead of update it? Do you know of
a document or website that says what actually gets updated when you update a contact? I have found several that just say changed information, but I know the e-mail address does not get changed, and if you change the Company name to nothing, that doesn't change either. Thank you for all your help. You have given me a better understanding of updating.

Updating & moving to another contact list doesn't update email
There is no separate option to replace a Contact. My point is that since you
are choosing to update the Contact, Outlook is doing exactly what you told it to do: adding the new information to the existing Contact. To replace a Contact, you obviously delete the old one and replace it with the new one. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "ChristyL" wrote in message ...
