Outlook address book order issue

[QH]

Hi,

Have a bit of a problem with the contacts within Outlook 2002 (XP). A
shared mailbox was recreated, which unfortunately disassociated it from
its own Contacts. I re added the Address Book \ Contacts to the mail
profile, however now when you open the Address Book the 'Contacts' is
right at the bottom, instead of second on the list underneath the
Global Address List. The GAL needs to remain at the top of 'Show names
from' drop down menu, but I want the Contacts to be second instead of
buried under all the sub categories of 'All Address Lists'. If you go
into Tools\Options of the Outlook address book, there is the 'show this
address list first' option, which is set to GAL. Unfortunately, there
is no 'Show this address list second'. Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

Start Outlook and open up your address book then go to Tools\Options
(of the Outlook address book) at the top there is the 'show this
address list first' option, which is set to GAL. At the bottom there is
an option: "When sending mail, check names using these address lists in
the following order" now, here you can mark the specified address book
and move it up or down using the up or down arrows to the right of the
list...this should work just fine, as it does for me...

Thanks for your response Cosmos, but this does not really help me. The
GAL should top the list (which it does) but the problem is that between
the GAL and the Outlook there is the 'All address lists' alongside
about 7 sub lists. This is not listed in the option you mentioned
regarding moving lists up and down, and therefore Outlook Address
Book\Contacts does remains at the bottom, when it should be underneath
the GAL and above the 'All address lists' lists.

Sorry about this confusing message!
