You named what "Fax Contacts?" You can't rename a default Outlook folder.

After selecting Contacts, then File - Folder - Properties for Contacts, then
Outlook Address Book tab, I had to check off the box: Show this folder as an
e-mail address book. Then I had to name it. I named it Fax Contacts.

You should have imported into your default Contacts Folder, then moved them
to a separate subfolder if that's what you wanted to do.

When I do that, the *wab file does get properly imported into Outlook. But
other than the listings appearing there, I'm right back where I started.
Printing to Fax and clicking on Address Book gives the error message, opens the
Address Book, and no list of contacts under Contacts is there and New does not
work. However, the imported list does show in the Print to Fax sequence, with
two listings for each name, if I check Show this folder as an e-mail address
book (as above) and leave the name Contacts in the name box (instead of calling
it Fax Contacts). The only difference is that in the Print to Fax sequence,
there are now two Contacts subheadings under Outlook Address Book, and the
second one shows the list of contacts with two for each name.

How many Contact Folders do you now have?

One -- I never created another folder other than what was required in the File
- Folder - Properties for Contacts, then Outlook Address Book tab sequence.

What exactly is listed when you go
to Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Change.

I await your next instructions. Thank you.
