I imported 2500 old contacts and created about 90% duplicates. I'm using
Office Outlook 2007 and I can't believe that there is no tool in this
software to intelligently merge duplicates that have been created via the
import tool. Does anyone out there know of a third party tool that will do
this? It would be simple logic: If the contacts have the same modification
date then delete one

Russ, you're still not explaining how to export the contacts once they're in a group. You seriously don't think a distribution list could be the same thing as a group? Thanks for nothing.

Thanks in advance.
I have added distribution groups to contacts. I have noticed that if I add
a new contact to the list it does not add that contact to the distribution
group. So I end up adding it in two places the contact list and the
distribution group.
Thanks

In older versions of Outlook, you could start a new message, add all
your contacts to the address field, hit Control K, close the message &
from that time forward, on a new message names would show in the

Now it will only work while Outlook is currently open,close & re-open

Why?
