Adding contacts

R

Roger

We store our client contacts in a public folder, and set it up as an email
address book called Clients (using the Outlook Address Book tab in the
folder properties). The only problem is that now when I try to add a
contact from a public folder or from our GAL it doesn't go into my
contacts - it goes into the Clients public folder. Is there any way to tell
it to always add to the contacts folder?

One way is to drag an email from them into that folder. Then you can also
cut and paste data from their signature into the fields.

Thanks. I do need to be able to right-click and select "Add Contact" also,
and have it go into the right folder.

Try a re-post along the lines of "changing default Contacts folder" and
use the Contacts newsgroup. Or use search/find in that newsgroup.
