Default Contacts are in wrong folder

When using outlook I click on "to" to choose a contact but the contacts are
empty. However when I click on contacts they are all there!!!
The dialogue box that opens when clicking "to" has "show names from the" and
then I can choose if I want the contacts from outlook adress book (empty) or
contacts (where I can see them all). Is there a way that by clicking "to"
that all of the contacts are visible straight away?

Just configure the Outlook Address Book view to show the folder that
contains your Contacts first.
Tools Options "Show this address list first:"

Thanks for replying. I've seemed to have lost you! Options shows me a
dialogue box with many tabs but I don't see "Show this address list first:"

You haven't lost me. You aren't looking where I told you.
Open the Address Book Tools Options
You can't miss it.

Yeah but there is no tools on the toolbar there. I had to access the address
book from the main toolbar to find the address book toolbar. But thanks
anyway it is sorted out now.
