I have a "master" list of my salespeople's contacts as a "contacts" file or a
pst file. I also have each persons contacts seperated into a list of their own. So, I have them all together and then have seperated them per each salesperson. Is there any way to link them so that a change I make to the master will be reflected in the other lists?

Well, I'll tell you what Brian. I was actually praying that you would not
respond to this posting. I was hoping that someone might address my question and not just try to parse my words. You have been absolutely no help and rather, a hindrance. Plese remove this from your list to harrass. "Brian Tillman" wrote: Duke wrote: I have a "master" list of my salespeople's contacts as a "contacts" file or a pst file.

But all you did was repost the same question you did before. Your question
is incomprehensible to anyone but you because you have used your own terms that have no meaning to anyone else. Brian rather patiently explained that fact to you and asked you for the clarification that was needed. Why would you not simply provide the answers we all need to understand your question? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Duke" wrote in message ... Well, I'll tell you what Brian.

Boy, I'll tell you... you guys are a trip. I've used this forum on many
occasions and always received excellent help until now. Look... if I knew all the nomenclature and vagaries of the program I probably wouldn't be asking these questions now would I? I'll try this one more time so as to try to satisfy you. I really can't believe your parsing of things.... and you think I'm dense? I think you should look in the mirror. When I open Outlook..... there are "tabs" on the left that list "mail". "cal;endar" now pay attention..... "contacts". "tasks". Now seee if you can stay with me here cause it gets a little tricky.... I actually created a ...... CONTACTS list with names addresses, phone numbers etc.... you should try it some time.... it's a pretty cool feature of this program! And then, just to confuse you, I made another list and another and another ( evil aren't I ) and each of these were copied from the first..... is this getting clearer? The first list.... was all the names .... the subsequent lists were some of the names .... are you staying with me???.... Hope it's comprehensible..... I only had 16 years of Jesuit training and it's hard sometimes for me to organize my thoughts. So the thought is.... gee... if I change info in the main list... is there a way that it will link the other list that contains the same info and update it too? Is this rather patient enough for your sensibilities? I surely hope so. It wiould be nice to get a reasonable answer rather than all this BS. Brian.... Russ.... I think you need to get out into the real world a little bit more..... you may understand the language a bit better....

Congratulations. You have now failed to convey yourself clearly in every
post. You have managed to insult everyone who has tried to help you. Why is it so difficult for you to explain what you mean? For the last time: "contact list" means nothing to the rest of us. What it means to you remains anyone's guess. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Duke" wrote in message ... Boy, I'll tell you... you guys are a trip.

Guess I must be in the twilight zone Russ. When I open outlook, it call the
tab to the left "Contacts". When I click on "Contacts" it opens up a screen that is labeled "Contacts". When I look to the file tree to the left on this screen it shows the title of my file as "Contacts". Sorry must be me being confused again. Thanks for your enlightenment and help. I feel much better now. -Duke- "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Congratulations. You have now failed to convey yourself clearly in every post.

If what you're saying is that you have two contacts folders and you want one to update the other, no, such functionality is not built into Outlook. You might get some ideas from http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm#tools, though.
