when i do a search in my contacts all my categories are open. its a real pain
to go back and close each time.

You can collapse the groups quickly this way:

Right click the column headings | customise current view | Group By | then
bottom right corner - expand collapse defaults.


And before you tell me it didn't work......... If you have v2002 or v2000 -
do that whole sequence twice in a row - that's a bug
