MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2005Contacts Different
I am using Outlook 2003 SP1 - When I click on the "Contacts" icon I get the correct e-mail adresses etc but when composing a new e-mail and I click on "To:" to bring up the addresses I get a completely different address book. I have tried everything to no avail. How do I get the "To:" to reference the correct address book?  Signatureyelnocer the To... does not reference an address book - it's the autoresolution function (you could Google that for more information) and is in a little N2K file. If you have names that appear in To... that you don't want, use the down arrow and delete button to get rid of them.

Hi Yelnocer, Clicking on the To button brings up the Select Name dialogue box and you can change what address book is shown first by going to Tools (on the Outlook Menu) || Address Book || Tools || Options || and using the drop down selector on the "Show this address list first" field. > the To... does not reference an address book - it's the autoresolution > function (you could Google that for more information) and is in a little [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> address book.

The NK2 file usually provided a list when I start typing within the "TO:" box. I am clicking on the "TO:" and it is brining up some sort of complete contact list but it is not the same as the one that I guess is my address book. I keep other things in my address/contacts such as FTP IPs and username/passwords and they do not appear. It is almost like I have two sets of contacts and depending on where I am in Outlook it looks at different files. Signatureyelnocer Click the book icon in the toolbar, then Tools | Options and set the order in which Outlook checks names - it can look in the GAL, Personal Address Books, then Contacts or whatever order you set.
