Outlook XP - Seperate Address books?

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?
 
I am afraid that you will have to do it manually. Open each contact and at
the bottom of the record is a place to check for using Categories. You can
then use custom categories as well.

Another thought is if several of your contacts have similar items in common
(mail addresses for example) you can export the contacts to Excel and then
universally assign the category to them in one step with drag and drop.

|| Use Categories. Assign the Friends/Family Category to your personal
|| contacts and Business to the resume recipients.
||
|| Then, you can display your contacts folder by category and see all
|| of the people who belong to friends and those who belong to
|| business. Makes it a lot easier to send mail to an entire category.
