I have a general Contacts list with friends/family in Outlook xp.
Is it possible to create a seperate contacts list, say for people I
have sent resumes to or business related, so they do not integrate
with my main list of contacts? Reason I want this, is so I can have a
list of people/companys I've sent resumes too, and follow up with them
(and so I don't have to add them to my normal address book that I have
in Outlook XP).

What is the best way to accomplish this?
 
You can create a second Contacts folder for this. Right-click on any
folder, select New Folder, then choose a name, a type (in this case, a
folder for "Contact items"), and the location for the folder. Then
populate the new folder as you wish. If you want the option to have the
addresses in this folder available to you in your address book (separate
from those in your main contacts folder), right-click the new folder,
choose Properties, then the Outlook Address Book tab, and check the box
to enable the folder as an Outlook Address Book. There will be a
dropdown box in the upper right corner of your address book window that
lets you choose which address book (contacts folder) you want to select
addresses from at that moment.

Make a distribution list by going to TOOLS then ADDRESS
BOOK then add DISTRIBUTION LIST. You can call it whatever
you want and if you want to email this list of people the
same resume or information, you can do so because they
have been grouped together.
 
Thanks Bill
But I don't plan on using it for emailing them, just having a record
of WHO they are, and their ADDRESS. A few people I mail resumes too,
and a few I email resumes too. Just want a list of these people
seperate from my main contacts/address book.
