    Russ, I'm missing something and cannot get your suggestion to work. I have
    several entries in my address book assigned to different categories, one
    category is "Family". When I select my address book (Outlook 2003 with All
    the updates) and use "By Category view" of the contact folder I expected to
    see the categories in some order but the Category column is not in any order
    (I expected to see all of the "Family" entries groupded, I also realize that
    I can assign an entry to multiple categories.. I'm also confused by
    "selecting the Category in the Category View" part of your statement. When I
    click on the "Category Header" Outlook attempts to sort the column but gives
    me a message "Cannot Sort by this Column" In the "Actions" menu item I do
    see "New Message to Contact" but that sends a message to only the contact
    selected. How do I select the "Category", in my example "Family"?
