Right-click the contact folder you want to lookup, choose Properties and in
the Outlook Address Book tab, choose the Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book.

Then when you open a new message in the To button, you'll have this contact
folder to choose from.

Cheers,

Let be be a bit mopre specific.
Using OL 2007
When i receive an email I click the address and say add to outlook contacts
, is there a way to add it to a folder other than the "Contact" folder.

I Have
Contacts
Personal Contacts
Business Contacts
Can I add to Business Contacts Automatically.

I tried as you suggested that did allow a search of that folder.

When you right-click and choose Add to Contacts, Outlook should open a
contact form. Instead of clicking Save and Close, click FileMove to
Folder, specifying the folder you want to contain it.

Thanks for the repy Bob.
Simple solutions are usually the best, and the ones most often overlooked.
