How to get Outlook to check Contacts first?

[p3tki]

In MS Outlook (2002 SP3)it seems like it wants to check my company
email directory before it offers me anything from my Contacts. Is
there a way to have it check Contacts?

Open the Address Book. Click Tools>Options. Change the order in the lower
pane.

Huh?!? Something isn't right. The only thing listed in the lower pane
is the company's Global Address List and it's subsets. I expected to
find "Contacts" listed but its not. I tried to "Add" Contacts but only
choices were from the global Address List. Have I lost the path to my
Contacts? They are all visible when I select contacts. ???

thanks

Step 1 is to enable Contacts as an Outlook address book - there are many
entries on this lower down.
