Outlook 2000 Contacts vs Address Book

[TQ]

I created a subfolder under Contacts and copied to it
several items from the main Contacts folder. That new
folder also appears as a subfolder in Outlook Address
Book, with all of the same items as when I originally
created the Contacts subfolder. However, none of the
items I have since added to the Contacts subfolder appear
in the Address Book subfolder. How do I make those two
folders talk to each other, so that additions to the
Contacts subfolder also appear in the Address Book
subfolder?

Many thanks.

Are you sure the folder itself has been enabled as an email address book in
its Properties?

Not once you've moved it. Describe more completely just what you did.

Yes, it was a default setting.

I don't think I've moved anything--just attempted to copy
items among contacts folders and address book folders.
1. In Folders List view, right click on "Contacts"
2. Select "New Folder;" give it a name ('New Folder A');
accept default "Folder Contains: 'Contact Items'." New
folder has been inserted (i.e., is a subfolder) under
Contacts.
3. Right click on New Folder A. Select "Properties,"
then click on "Outlook Address Book" tab. Note that check
appears in "Show this folder as an email address book."
Click "OK"
4. Click on contacts. Select (open) a contact.
5. Click "File" then "Copy to Folder . . . "
6. Select 'New Folder A,' then click "OK"
7. Close Contact
8. double click on 'New Folder A;' note that desired
contact has been copied to 'New Folder A'.
9. Click on Address Book icon; drop "Show names from
the:" list; under "Outlook Address Book" find and
select 'New Folder A' (has been placed there by default
when created in Contacts in Step 2, above.) Note that the
contact copied into 'New Folder A' in steps 5 & 6 also
appears in Address Book ("Show Names from the:" window,
now displays 'New Folder A.')
10. Close address book.
11. Repeat steps 4,5,6,7,8.
12. Click on Address Book icon; drop "Show names from
the:" list; under "Outlook Address Book" find and
select 'New Folder A'. Note that the only Address Book
entry for 'New Folder A' is the first one copied in the
original steps 5 & 6. The 2nd item (contact) copied to
New Folder A in step 11 appears in the Contacts subfolder
named New Folder A, but not in the Address Book named New
Folder A.

Thanks for your help.

Never have I seen subfolders enabled as email address books by default in
either mail support mode of Outlook. What mail support mode are you using?
Something is not right with your installation.

I don't know what a mail support mode is. How would I
find out? I'm on a Microsoft Exchange Server. Does that
help?

That's Corp/Workgroup mode.
I can't reproduce that behavior, but I no longer have a version that old to
test. May well be a bug. If I were you, I try copying all the Contacts over
in one operation then restart Outlook before trying to copy over any more.
