Check Names - Contacts Don't Show Up

[John Schneider]

Using Outlook 2000 under Windows 2000 Server.

When I type a partial name in the To: field on a new email, I get the red
squiggly line indicating there are multiple names matching that pattern.
When I hit Send, I get the Check Names window showing a list of matching
names. However the only names that show up in the list are from the Global
Address List, and none from my Contacts.

Under Tools, Services, Addressing tab, I have two entries in the "When
sending mail, check names using these address lists in the following order".
First is the Global Address List, and second is Contacts, yet none of the
matching entries from Contacts appear in the list.

How can I get the matching entries from Contacts to also show up in the
Check Names window?

Thanks

Move that address book to the top of the order.

Milly,

Thanks for the response, but when I do that, then it only looks in the
Contacts and ignores the Global Address List. I was assuming that the Check
Names window would show all matches from all the lists in the addressing
tab, which, in this case is the GAL and Contacts.

Is there a way to have Check Names show all matching entries in both lists?

Thanks,
John

No, IIRC, it only checks the default store for names and you need to
manually switch the contact folder to search in additional places.

Thanks again for the reply, but now I'm REALLY confused. If it won't check
through all the address stores in the "When sending mail, check names using
these address lists in the following order" list, then what is the purpose
of that list?
