Dupliate contacts--how to avoid when copying (Russ Valentine alert!!)

Russ, I hope you see this!

Recently you gave me the correct procedure for changing
default .pst files by adding a new profile and then
closing the old one.

You also mentioned: "If you have any information in your
former PST that you'd like to transfer to your new default
PST, you can drag and drop from one to the other before
you close the old one."

My current question: if you drag and drop Contacts with
duplicate entries, is there any way to avoid doubling up
on the duplicates? Short of using one of the duplicate
removers available?

TIA!
 
In Tools > Options > Preferences > Contact options you have the option to
check for duplicates when Contacts are added. If it does not work reliably,
the third party duplicate checkers all seem to.
