The first thing to do is to check your "folders list" pane. Be sure that you only have one labeled Contacts in your personal folders.
Also, is there a chance you more than one set of folders open. IE: Are you hooked to an Exchange server and have both a network based contact list and one in a set of personal folders that are open.
I would start there and see what that does. Tom Backus
