Combine Hotmail and Outlook Contacts

[aceman97]

I have outlook 2007 installed. I am NOT connected to a server or corporate
account. I have contacts in outlook and also have contacts in hotmail. The
only account I currently have in use through outlook 2007 is hotmail. Is
there a way to have one contact list? Right now I have hotmail contacts and
outlook contacts... I haven't tried outlook connector, but from what I read,
it only allows you to access the hotmail contacts in outlook... which is
great, but does not solve my problem of one contact list.

I guess I could put all of my contact information into hotmail... the
challenge with that is when I click on "add to contacts", as i used outlook
2007 primarily to access my hotmail, or try to use business contact manager,
i don't think it will add to hotmail... I hope I am making sense.. would
truly appreciate any assistance!!

I don't know where you read that. It's not true.

The BCM contacts will always be separate, since it's ad add-in to Outlook
that uses a different format for the data, from what I gather. How are you
accessing the Hotmail data in Outlook now, if you're not using the
Connector? If you use the Connector and make the Hotmail data file your
delivery location, you can have everything in Hotmail except folders for
which Hotmail has no equivalent, like Tasks and Journal.

When I installed outlook, it asked what my e-mail account was, so i put my
hotmail address... outlook 2007, no exchange server, and it seems to work
ok... but I can't work offline at all... my contacts is my next hurdle...
