Default How can you change priority of contact list displays

When you have a company contact list (long list) and you have a contact list
set up with just the folks you want to e-mail, how do you change it so that
your short list will display first when you click on "To" in a new message?

In the Standard toolbar of Outlook, click the Address Book icon. When that
window opens, click ToolsOptions and set the order there.

Default How can you change priority of contact list displays

Hi Brian

I have tried doing this, but the re-ordering has no effect. Is there
another setting or configuration that needs to be set up?

I am on Outlook 2007.

Are the contact lists in contacts folders? if so, open the address book
(ctrl+shift+b) and go to its tools, options menu - the very first option
allows you to select the address book you want to show first.

Hi Diane

Yes I have tried this and 'search address book' continues to search contacts
first regardless of what I select.

I am trying to search a microsoft dynamics crm contact list which is in
outlook.

Any help would be much appreciated.

CRM is listed first in the bottom field? If so, then it may be a limitation
of CRM.
