How do I make my Outlook contacts folder my default address book for OE 6?
It worked on my old computer... I should be able to go to Address Book,
Tools, Options (or I could previously), but my OE doesn't have "Options" on
that menu.

What version of Outlook are you using, and if 98 or 2000, what mail support
mode? If you're not sure, look at the second line of Help | About Microsoft
Outlook -- it should say "Internet Mail Only" or "Corporate/Workgroup".
(Outlook 97, 2002, and 2003 don't have separate modes.)

I'm using Outlook 2003.

Brand new computer, brand new software! :-))

No current versions of Outlook have this feature. You'd have to use a reg
hack:
