Hi,

When I click the 'To:' icon when addressing an email, is there a way I can
get the 'Show Names from the:' look in box to default to one of the other
address books in the list?  For instance, I want it to always default to a
folder named 'Public Contacts' and each time I go into the 'To:' option, it
defaults back to another address book.

I have gone through the Tools/Email Accounts/View or Change existing
directories or address books and I made sure it is showing this Public
Contacts folder and I have also gone through the
Contacts/File/Folder/Properties for my folder name/Outlook Address Book tab
and clicked the 'Show this folder as an email address book/ok.

We are current users of Outlook 2003/Exchange Server and this is a new
computer/user we are setting up and I just can't seem to figure out how to
make that field default to the 'Public Contacts' address book instead of the
current 'Global Address Book'.

We can use the To: option, however we always have to do the extra steps to
choose the Public Contacts from the 'Show Names from the:' box before typing
the name search in the search field.  I could swear that we had this same
problem when we originally set up all other users way back when and somehow
resolved it to default the Public Contacts but I can't remember what/how we
did it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am sure I am just missing some very small step in the process somewhere
but before I pull the rest of my hair out.........please HELP! :-)
