Look Up Contact From Email

[PapaFrank]

When I Select Lookup Contact from an email address, is there a way to direct
it to look up from a folder other than contacts?
OL 2007
ie have a personal contact folder and a contact folder, I want it to lookup
in Personal Folder.
Thanks
Also when adding from email address can I soecify what folder to add to.

Right-click the contact folder you want to lookup, choose Properties and in
the Outlook Address Book tab, choose the Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book.

Then when you open a new message in the To button, you'll have this contact
folder to choose from.

Cheers,

Using OL 2007
When i receive an email I click the address and say add to outlook contacts
, is there a way to add it to a folder other than the "Contact" folder.

I Have
Contacts
Personal Contacts
Business Contacts
Can I add to Business Contacts Automatically.

I tried as you suggested that did allow a search of that folder.

When you right-click and choose Add to Contacts, Outlook should open a
contact form. Instead of clicking Save and Close, click File>Move to
Folder, specifying the folder you want to contain it.

Simple solutions are usually the best, and the ones most often overlooked.
