We are using separate Outlook Data Files. When my husband logs in to his
Windows XP login- he goes to outlook (Gene.PST) and checks his email. In
contacts, he has 2 books. Contacts (which is his main address book) and
under it he has E-Mail in which he only keeps the 20 or so people he
emails
and each record only contains the full name and email address. When he
click
"inbox" at left and clicks New to write a new email, his address book only
shows the email list. This is because he had right clicked on the email
address book and changed the properties to show as outlook address book.
He
also changed the properties of contacts address book so that it DOESN'T
show
as outlook address book. This works great for him but I am unable to get
the
same result using my separate Outlook Data File (Sarah.PST). I did the
same
steps as we did to his contacts & email address books but when writing an
email and choosing recipients from my address book, I still get Outlook
Address Book as my main book. I have to select E-Mail Address Book in
order
to see recipients. I want to only see E-Mail Address Book while writing
an
email.

Could you rephrase more clearly please? This makes no sense.
Is each of you using the same Outlook Data File in your profiles?

I expect this because for years (and even my husband has this capability
by
logging in as himself currently) I have used "contacts" as my regular
full
address book to sync with my palm. I have created a subfolder under
contacts
called e-mail. I only keep email addresses here. Then I go to email
properties and check "use as outlook address book" and go to outlook
properties and uncheck that box. Now after having completed those
steps,
when I click NEW while in inbox, and then click the TO icon, only my
email
addresses show in the list. However, since separating my log in from
my
husband, I no longer have this ability yet my husband's is still
working
correctly as stated above.
:
My husband is the main user of my Windows XP Prof. and I am another
user.
When I log in under my name and go to outlook to write an email i run
into
the following. I right click on the address book (sub of Contacts)
and
click
properties. I click on the Outlook Address Book Tab and check "show
this
folder ..." I also right click on contacts and ask it NOT to show
this
folder ...
This works in outlook when my husband is logged on but does not work
for
me
when I am logged on. What am I doing wrong?
