Can't make Contacts my Default Address Book

Hello. I have recently installed Outlook 2002 under Windows XP.

When I send an email message, I want to click on the "TO:" button to
select a name from my address book. In this new version of Outlook,
however, a message pops up that says: "Can't contact LDAP directory
server." When the address book dialog box opens, none of my contacts
are there because it is displaying the "Active Directory" instead.
If I then choose "Contacts" from the drop-down box, it displays my
entries.

I find this very annoying. How can I change the configuration to
default to Contacts when clicking on the "To:" button?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
Jessi

Remove the LDAP. Replace it with the Outlook Address Book.

Thanks for your help! I finally found where to make the change:

While in the "Inbox" (not an individual message), click on Tools > Address Book.
When the dialog box displays, click on Tools > Options.
Under the "Show This Address List First" option, choose "Contacts"
