You can only change which address book displays first through the GUI.
Otherwise the list will appear in the order in which they were enabled in
the profile.

Hi, I didn't want my contacts to be shown first in the "Show names from
the",
I wanted Contacts to be just above Global Address List, so I only had to
scroll up 1 notch for Contacts, as opposed to scrolling down a very long
list. The only we could do it was by IT re-creating my profile.

That's the correct place and dialog to make that setting. What are you
doing
and what doesn't work? Can't you set which folder the address book
displays
first? Are you restarting Outlook after you make a change?

Hi, when I create an email in Outlook 2003, click the "To" button to
select
recipient names, Contacts used to be listed above Global Address List.
I
had
a problem with my profile and recreated it, but I now find that when I
go
through the process to select recipients, Contacts is now at the bottom
of
the list. Does anyone know how I can move it to the top of the list so
that
I only have to go up one nudge from the Global Address List to
Contacts.
Going through Tools - Address Book, then Tools - Options within the
Address
Book screen, changing any of the options does not work.

Thanks. Jackie
