Organising Contact Lists

[samn]

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me

I am trying to organise my address book a specific way. The easiest wa
to describe my ideal is as follows:


Personal
(no sub-categories)
----------------------
Work
-business
-colleagues
-overseas

---------------------------

Work contains entry 1. Entry 1 also belongs in business and overseas
Entry 1 can also be found in Personal

If I update the contact somehow then it is updated in al
subcategories.

I have set up folders in Outlook to do this, but there is the issu
that updating one copy of a contact won't update them all...

Cheers in advanc

If you mean the contacts folder and not the address book, you can create a
category for Personal, Work, etc., and assign as many categories to a
contact as you like. With this approach you wouldn't store a copy of a
contact in different folders but in one folder only. Then you can group the
view by categories and find the same contact in different groups
(categories).

For more details please see:
