Can Outlook address book default to BCM Contacts?

[George]

When clicking on the address book icon to send out an email, Outlook 2003
with BCM seems to default to the standard "Contacts" address book...from
which you select names.

Sure, you can use the drop down to show names from "Business Contacts"
instead, but the next time you use it, it has reverted back to plain
"Contacts"

1) Is there a way to set the defaul in the select names window to "Business
Contacts?"

2) If I later want to change it back, is it easy...is it more involved than
just selecting "Contacts" somewhere

3) Are all three of the contact types (Contacts, Business Contacts,
Accounts) subsets of "Outlook Address Book"? Or are they separate things?

Thanks

1) Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options

2) Yes. See #1.

3) The Outlook Address book is a container for the address lists displayed
from individual Outlook contacts folders. In this context, Contacts,
Business Contacts, and Accounts are all Outlook contact lists.
