I am using outlook 2003 sp2 on XP. I have 2 accounts. One exchange and one
pop3. I have 2 contact books. One for exchange and one for the pop3. Is there
anyway to make outlook automatically use the exchange account when I select a
contact out of my exchange address book? And the same for the pop3. Right now
pop3 is the default account. So when I select a contact from the pop3 it
works fine. But if I select a contact from my exchange I have to click the
accounts button and select exchange.
Thanks for any help.
Darren

Explain why you think using Exchange and POP3 in the same profile is a good
idea. Clarify the method you are using for recipient selection. There are
many. Your post is deficient in relevant details.

Wow rough on the newbies

Not say it is a good ideal. We were having a lot of routing problems using
exchange for all the e-mail.
In the message window I click the TO... icon, it opens select name window,
the global address list is the exchange contact list. If I want a pop3
contact I click show names from the : and select contacts.

Not rough at all. You have yet to post a clear question. Hard to help when
you don't clarify your question.

No, you cannot set outlook to choose the acct based on the contact.
