Most of my clients (and I) are home users of Outlook.  There should be a very
simple setting to allow us to make the default mailing address the Home
address.  I understand this can be done by creating a new form, but that's
much too complicated for the average home user.  It should be a simple option
/ checkbox.

The description of how to do this has been posted several times and when I
read it, it didn't seem overly complicated.  Google Groups will find those
prior posts for you.

Brian,

Are you referring to creating a custom form?  If so, please note that I said
in my original post that I understand how to do that.  What I'm saying,
primarily for the benefit of the Microsoft people who read these posts, is
that there should be a drop-down option in Outlook, Tools, Options that
allows me to change this.  I shouldn't have to create a custom form for all
of my clients to use; it should be programmatic in Outlook with a default
installation.

If you're referring to something else, please post again.

http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/homedefault.htm a few simple clicks, if
you are saying this is too complicated for home users, then they should be
using Outlook Express for mail.
