Default Contacts with new message

I have a few users that when they create a new message and click on TO: they
see exchange contacts, but not their personal contacts. They worked before
and it is only a few users that do not work now. Please help me fix this
problem.
Thanks,
Brian

Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options. Set the address list you want to show first there.

Default Contacts with new message

Hi Sue,
I am experiencing the same problem. I tried your solution, but when
I click the To button I can not find any of my personal contacts from my
contact list on Outlook 2003.

Thanks for your help!

Right-click your Contacts folder, choose Properties, click the Outlook
Address Book tab, and check the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book". Click Close.

Default Contacts with new message

lets see if this works because it just worked for me; click the contacts tab
in the lower left part of outlook 2003 (mail,calendar,contacts,taksks). Now
that you're in the contacts section, go to the upper left part where it says
Contacts ("my contacts" is right under there). Right click the contacts icon
that you want to be added to address book and go to properties. Click the
outlook address book tab, and click the check box that says "show this folder
as an e-mail address book". Your contacts should now show up in the "To..."
section of when you go to type a new email

Is the Outlook Address Book present in the address book dialog? If not, add it with Tools | Email Accounts.

The problme is the Outlook Address Book Contacts do not show up there. they
do show up if you are in contacts but not in the Inbox.

This box is grey and not checked. I can not check it. Is there a policy
somewhere that needs to be changed?
