    Duplicate 'Contacts' folder(s) in Outlook 2003 ?


    Don't use Outlook as much as I used to so I don't know when this actually started.

    When I try create a new email...Outlooks looks for the Contacts 'folder'...but I get an error saying "The address list could not be displayed..."

    I then go to 'address book' and see that there are two entries for Contacts...the fist choice gives the above error (capture.jpg). When I click the second (bottom) Contacts...then everything pops up normally ?

    How do I get rid of/delete the 1st Contacts listed in (doublecontacts.jpg) attached.

    Thanks....TiminAz

I use Outlook 2003 solely for the data I keep in the Contacts section.That is to say that I don't use Outlook for e-mail or for any other of its many functions. I have always been somewhat "hazy" about just how to keep this Contacts data backed up. What I've been doing for years is saving...
