how do you keep Outlook Contact categories from merging together?
When I try to arrange a specific category the result is all categories are
merged together which I never need to do. When arranging I will either need to sort by a person's last name or by the company name. I just transferred this program onto a new computer and was able to avoid this situation on the previous computer. When I try to |

Explain what steps you're taking to "arrange a specific category" and in
what version of Outlook. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Eric B."

I have Outlook 2003. I can separate the categories out. Then I go to the top
of either the "company" or "file as" columns and click. When that is done all entires in all categories are listed alphabetically. I have almost 900 entires between the catagories - makes for a long list when everything is combined. How do I alphabetize just one column in one category? I really never need or want to combine all categories when working in Outlook.

Any sorting affects the entire view. If you want to sort within groups, make that change not in the UI but with the View | Arrange By | Current View | Customize Current View | Sort dialog. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Eric B." wrote in message news I have Outlook 2003.

Sue, I finally found what I needed. I put the different categories into their
own folders. Now they can be arranged as necessary without displaying everything at once. Thank you for your time, I do appreciate it.
