Linking contacts

[Triad1]

I have copies of contacts in different folders. Is there any way to link the
original and the copy so that a change made to one will automatically be made
to the copy?

Thanx

There's nothing built into Outlook to do that; perhaps there may be a 3rd
party add-in that would. I would just open the edited contact, click File |
Copy to Folder, choose the folder where the copy is, and click OK. It will
say there is already a contact with that e-mail address in that folder and
ask what you want to do -- just merge them.

Thanx,Jocelyn -- I hope that Microsoft deals with this in upcoming versions
-- it's really a pain to have to edit each copy manually.

I too have found this to be a hassle.
