I have two different contacts folders. When sending an email I type the
contact name in the "to" field. However this only searches the default folder so I then have to click "to" and select the other folder manually. How do I change this so it automatically searches the folder where the majority of my contacts are held? |

I would put the majority of your contacts into the Contacts folder in your
default message store (Personal Folders or Exchange mailbox). Where are they stored now? I'm guessing that both folders are selected as address books since you mentioned that...

Yes, boh folders are selected as address books. The full story is that I use
a program called SYNCING.NET to syncronise outlook folders between computers. It works really well - the host machine uses the default calendar and contact folder, the slave machines syncronise into sub-folders. Therefore my main contacts folder on a slave machine is not the default folder, but it IS the one I need to access all the time....

Click on the address book icon, choose tools, options and change the
contacts folder that is shown first and also which one is searched first. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.
