How to ditch my Global Address List..

[phoenix2005]

My boss doesn't want to be bothered with the global address list when
all he usually does is email folks outside the company. With Exchange
2k3Server on the backside, (on outlook XP)when the TO: button is
clicked, it automatically defaults to the Global address list. Does
anyone know how to change that to default to your personal contact
list?

Yep sure do. Click the address book icon on the toolbar (looks like a book)
and then Tools | Options and set it to look in the Contacts first.

Ahhh the first question should have been - how can my whole team USE A
SINGLE CONTACTS Database!!

Put a nice clean up to date set of Contacts in a Public folder and then:

show it as an address book on each user's settings

set the settings I went through before to make it the default Contacts
folder Outlook goes to.

Okay, I'm having a similar problem.

Put a nice clean up to date set of Contacts in a Public folder
Done

Show it as an address book on each user's settings
Done

set the settings I went through before to make it the default Contacts
folder Outlook goes to.

Okay, this is where I did something different, but I think it does the same
thing (I'm running Outlook 2000). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

In the "Show this address list first" drop down options, I choose "Company
Contacts" (the contacts stored in the Public Folder)

My problem is this:
1. When staff try to save a new contact, it is saved by default to the
staff-member's 'Personal Contact List'.

2. They are not presented with the option which Contacts List they want to
save this new contact into.

Can this option be given?
How is it done?
