Contact List Problem??
When I select the "To", "CC" or "BCC" button to send an email the "Acoount
group" appears instead of the "Contact List" in the drop down window on the right side of the screen. I have to click the drop down box to find my contacts. How do you set up the contact to appear the first time? I am using Outlook 2003. Thanks!! |

Contact List Problem??
Can't you just choose to show that folder first in Tools Options?

Contact List Problem??
I cannot find the option that controls that drop down box. When my system
crashed and was reset it automatically selected the "Accounts" rather than the contact list?? After I select the contact list I must then click inside the "To" box to start typing the names. Prior to the crash, if I selected the "To" box, the contact list would appear and you could start typing in the name. Something has changed and I am not sure how to correct it? Thanks for you help!

Contact List Problem??
Your post is too confusing. How can you be selecting the "contact list"
before you start the message? Are you talking about the To: field or the To: button? The option to select which address list to show first is in the Address Book Tools Options... -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jax Paul" wrote in message ...

Contact List Problem??
Here are the steps:
New Message Click on "to" or "cc" and a Select Names box appears. On the top right of the box there is a drop down menu, it has defaulted to "Accounts" If I use the drop down arrow I can choose from one of the following 1. Outlook Address Book, 2. Accounts (Always defaults to this), 3. Business Contacts, 4. Contact List (this is where all of my names/email address are located). Once that list appears I can then type in a name to select an address. Hope this makes more sense. Thanks! "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Your post is too confusing.

I got it, I removed the Accounts and Business Contacts from the email address
system, the only option is for my contacts to open. I right clicked on properties and unchecked the box that said "show this folder as a email address book" Thanks for all your help!!

That works, but wasn't necessary. You can easily set which folder displays
first using the instructions I posted without having to remove the others. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jax Paul" wrote in message ...
