When I select the "To", "CC" or "BCC" button to send an email the "Acoount
group" appears instead of the "Contact List" in the drop down window on the
right side of the screen. I have to click the drop down box to find my
contacts. How do you set up the contact to appear the first time? I am using
Outlook 2003.
Thanks!!

Can't you just choose to show that folder first in Tools > Options?

I cannot find the option that controls that drop down box. When my system
crashed and was reset it automatically selected the "Accounts" rather than
the contact list??
After I select the contact list I must then click inside the "To" box to
start typing the names. Prior to the crash, if I selected the "To" box, the
contact list would appear and you could start typing in the name. Something
has changed and I am not sure how to correct it?
Thanks for you help!

Your post is too confusing. How can you be selecting the "contact list"
before you start the message? Are you talking about the To: field or the To:
button?
The option to select which address list to show first is in the Address Book
> Tools > Options...

Here are the steps:
New Message
Click on "to" or "cc" and a Select Names box appears.
On the top right of the box there is a drop down menu, it has defaulted to
"Accounts"
If I use the drop down arrow I can choose from one of the following 1.
Outlook Address Book, 2.  Accounts (Always defaults to this), 3. Business
Contacts, 4. Contact List (this is where all of my names/email address are
located).
Once that list appears I can then type in a name to select an address.
Hope this makes more sense.
Thanks!
