Default Outlook pulling local contacts instead of global address book

The only issue is that Outlook does not use the global phonebook to
autocomplete addresses in the email header. It only suggests names
from saved local contacts. I can call up the global address book
from its normal location on the file menu, though.


Autocompletion does not reference contacts or ther GAL in any way
whatsoever. All it does is remember up to 1,000 of the addresses to which
you've sent mail in the past. If you send a message to a GAL entry, it will
remember that. If you send it to a Contacts entry, it will rememebr that,
too, but it's not referencing either the GAL or Contacts. It's remembering
what you entered into the recipient fields (To, Cc, and Bcc).
