I am using Outlook 2003.

Within a new message, when I click the "to" button to go to the address
book, I have 2 choices.

1. My personal contacts
2. A corporate global address book that contains all of our employees.

Outlook currently defaults to the corporate address book. Is there a way to
change the default to my personal copntacts?

Thanks

Jon

Hi jon,

have a look on this site :

"Have Contacts show up first in the Address Book"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011127381033.aspx

and select the corporate global address book inthe "Show this addressbook
first" setting.

Maybe it helps.

Click on the Address Book icon in the toolbar (ensure you're viewing both
standard and adanced toolbars). Then click Tools > Options. You can sort your
view order in the Addressing tab there.
