What do you mean by "when you type in a first name"? Are you referring to
the list that pops up and contains addresses *before* you click Check Names
or press Ctrl-K? If so, that has nothing whatsoever to do with any of your
contact folders.

i mean to say when i typed a word in To Field and click on check name it will
not show the email address but the email address with this word is in another
contact list for example contacts2 but the problem is if i move the email
address in contact1 list it will show. as i explain i have 3 contact list
with the names contact1, contact2, and contact3 and it placed in search order
as contact1, contact2, contact3, so it has to search first in contact1 if it
doesn't found in contact1 then it has to search in contact2 and contact3,.
what i mean to say is outlook2007 is searching only in the first contact list
when i clicked on check name

I don't think you answered my question. Is the name for which you're
checking in ONLY Contact2 or is it in BOTH Contact1 and Contact2?
