You have two options to "control" syncing to the device.
1) You can put any contacts you do not want to sync with the device into a subfolder in the "contacts" main folder. These will not sync to the phone. You could create a "photography" subfolder and place all of those contacts in there.

Ok, making progress. Installed Outlook 2007 to my desktop, synched my Palm TX to it, got all of those contacts and calendar in without problem. I then imported my Windows Mail Contacs and Mail Messages. I have all but the photography list ones in the main Contact Folder, and assigned a variety of categories.
I have the photography list contacts in a separate subfolder, so I'm about to synch with my TP2. According to what you said, it will only synch the main Contact folder contacts, and will ignore those in the subfolder.
My question is whether or not the Properties of this Subfolder needs to be adjusted. There is an entry called "Show this folder as an email Address Book." This is checked for both Contacts and the Subfolder.
So, will it ignore the subfolder, regardless of that setting, or does that setting need to be unchecked? I'd prefer to get this right on the first synch, and not have to delete those 622 contacts and start over again.
Thanks!
P.S. I don't think it should matter, but I created a new folder to replace "Personal Folder," moved everything there, and deleted the original. I did this because I wanted all of these files to be on my Data partition, and not on my OS partition. Everything seems to be working correctly.
Does Outlook store its Contact/Address Book data in the same .pst file, or is it stored elsewhere in a separate file?
