One way to make the change, Tia is as follows: From the main Outlook Inbox window, click on the Address Book icon. Then click on Tools, Options. Then make the desired selection from the drop-down list in "Show this address list first."=20 Judy -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Victor Firestone Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2003 10:31 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Outllook xp address book =20 Hi there, A question, is there anyway how to set a preference in the "select addresses" dialog box that a particular list will be the default list that shows when this dialog opens up. This is in a corporate environment where there are a number of such "lists" in the select addresses dialog. In Office 2000, there's an option in the "Tools->Services" menu item, "Addressing" tab to "Show this address list first", and I could choose my Contacts to display before the Global Address Book . What's the parallel in Office XP? Hope the question is clear enough TIA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TTFN - Vic "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to=20 mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
