Joe, You can create a search folder with a filter that shows only Active business contacts. Since Search Folders are always kept up to date, though, you may notice some performance degradation. If so, and it bothers you, it's easy enough to remove the Search Folder. Another option is to export the inactive contacts, or the backup the entire database, then delete them inactive contacts. That way, you can always import them (perhaps even to a new, blank database) should you need them. Chris [msft]
