Shared Contacts in Outlook 2000

[Admin-JAA]

I am the keeper of our Outlook Address Book. I am finding that when I make an
addition to the address book and then later open it to make a correction to
that same entry, it gives our staff a duplicate contact for this entry. How
do I make changes to an existing contact without it making a duplicate for
the others I share the address book with? I have found that the only way I
can successfully do this is to physically delete my entire address book and
import a new text file that I have created and keep updated in excel and then
save it as a text (tab delimited file). Is there a setting I am missing? Any
help you may have for me would be ever so appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Clarify what you mean. You cannot be talking about the Outlook Address Book.
It contains no data and should never be used for data entry.
