I only want to use contacts for the source of my email information. I do not
want to use Address Book. How can I make contacts the default source of
information when I click on To in an Untitled Message?

To me there should be only one repository for Address/Contact information.
If you want to have different databases or a Global address list they can
simply be separate contact folders and you can make any of them the default.

I am using Outlook 2003 Sp2.

Your question is confusing. Outlook has no address book. The address book is
simply a view of your Contacts Folders.
Perhaps you mean you haven't yet discovered how to set which folder to
display first in your Address Book view. Just look at Tools Options in
your Address Book view. It should be obvious.
