I posed this question a few weeks ago, but lost the notice of answer in an
nasty email transition, my appologies
Just started running OL2007 [separate download from new business email
provider - exchange server - used to be a POP3 provider] - all other office
components are 2003. Also XP SP2.
now, when writing a new email, the "select names" box defaults to a
corporate address book. Can I get it to use my contacts folder as the default
address book?
My contacts folder is listed on the drop-down menu, just need to select it -
a minor bother.

Open the Outlook Address Book interface and click ToolsOptions. Select the
address book Outlook should use first for resolution. This is done in the
lower pane entitled "When sending mail, check names using these address
lists in the following order". Make sure your Contacts folder is listed
first.
