Setting which addresses to use

[Paul]

Hi,

I have just moved to Outlook 2003, but when entering a name in the To box or
clicking on the To box Outlook is showing names from the Outlook Address
Book (which is empty) instead of Contacts (which has hundreds of entries).

The drop down (Show Names from the in the Select Names Dialog only has the
Outlook Address Book listed.

How do I get Contacts listed in the Show Names From list and how do I set
this to the default so that names will autocomplete when typed into the To
and CC address fields?

Sorry to post a question on this, but I'm not finding the Help very helpful
on this one.

TIA

Paul

Thank you - that sorted it out.

Not an easy option to find is it!

Try - right-click on Contacts folder, Properties. On the OAB tab, choose

"Show this as an email address book."
