MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2004Multiple contact folders How do I set the Default
I have 2 personal address books and one LDAP address book. When writing an email I click the to: icon to choose a name from my address book. Currently the LDAP list is the default however I want one of the local address books to be the default. Can I change this setting? We can't answer if you don't post your Outlook version. Are you really using PAB's? You should be using the Outlook Address Book and Contacts Folders, not PAB's.

I don't know what PAB is. As far as I know I'm using the Address book and contact folders. I'm not on anykind of exchange server if that helps. I have an LDAP address book setup to get addresses from my company over the internet connection. ----- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: ----- We can't answer if you don't post your Outlook version.
