MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004Doing an Add to contacts does not save it in the specified Contacts folder!
Outlook 2000 and 2002 - Turn off the message store Contacts as an Outlook Address book, add a .pst file, and create a Contacts folder that holds contacts, and make it an Outlook Address book. In the Address Book/Tools/Options, say to save personal contacts in and select the OAB that you created on the pst. Open up an email, right click on an email address, say add to Contacts, still plops it in the Contacts folder on the Exchange message store! How do I get it to add it to the Contacts folder I specified???  SignatureMike Matheny You can't. That method will save only to your default Contacts folder.

From the Help file: =================== Keep personal addresses in Specifies the address book you want to use as the default when you add names. Outlook uses the Outlook Address Book to store addresses. =================== And I have turned off the Outlook Address Book on the information store, and turned it on in a PST file. Seems what they say and what happens are two different things.

As far as I know that configuration is not recommended nor well documented.
