Thanks for replying. I've seemed to have lost you! Options shows me a
dialogue box with many tabs but I don't see "Show this address list first:"

When using outlook I click on "to" to choose a contact but the contacts
are
empty. However when I click on contacts they are all there!!!
The dialogue box that opens when clicking "to" has "show names from the"
and
then I can choose if I want the contacts from outlook adress book (empty)
or
contacts (where I can see them all). Is there a way that by clicking "to"
that all of the contacts are visible straight away?
