Multiple address books

I have one Personal address book and one Contacts address
book.

Is there a way to have multiple address books so I can
organize smaller, separate books? Outlook 2002 only seems
to allow for one of each address book type.

Thank you,
CM
 
Your terms are unclear. Outlook hasn't used a Personal Address Book for
years. I've never seen the term "Contacts address book." If you could
describe a bit more fully what you mean, I suspect we can help.
 
We use the Personal Address Book carried over from
Microsoft Mail and the Contacts address book from Outlook
2000/2002. The Personal Address Book serves us well
because we use it to contain only our employees. It is
the first set of addresses we see when we need to send a
message, so it gives us a short list to work with when
communicating with one-another.

The Contacts list contains all other email addresses that
we use. The list is very long, so I want a way to get to
groupings of addresses (i.e., addresses to business
associates verses addresses to clients) instead of
sifting through the entire list.

I just read a little about the use of categories. This
sounds like it may be the way to work with our Contact
list more effectively.

Thanks for your help.

I'd suggest migrating to using the Outlook Address Book exclusively, then
creating separate either Contacts subfolders or categories to do what you
want. Here is some information to help you get started.
