Any way to overwrite (not merge) Outlook contacts when importing from a file?
- by Dan
I'm trying to create a contact list for Outlook 2010 that will contain contact information for every person in my company. I intend on keeping the list current, which means I will be manually adding new employees to the contact list, and removing contacts who no longer work here.
The contact list will reside in its own subfolder within the Outlook Contacts folder.
I want to periodically export this contact list as a .csv file, and allow the other employees in the company to import it into Outlook on their own computer, thus providing them with a comprehensive and up-to-date company contact list.
The problem is, Outlook 2010 only wants to merge contact lists, not overwrite them. This means that any contacts who are no longer with the company will not be removed from the contact lists on employee stations.
Is there any way to force Outlook 2010 to overwrite the contact list?
Oh how I long for the days of Outlook 2003 and its tidy .pab files.
