Outlook contact Lookup for new e-mail recipient (check name)

[Boe]

Sorry for an easy one but I forgot how to change the contact lookup order
when doing a check name when typinging in an e-mail recipient. For
example, I would type tom and press ALT K and it will look up all my
contacts with tom in it but I forgot how to change the search location
between your exchange server global address list and the personal contacts.


Thanks

You also forgot to post your Outlook version.

In 2000, XP or 2003 would be helpful.

Great. You think my memory is that good? I'll recheck all 3 versions and get
back to you in a day or so.
I'm currently using 2003. There you open the Address Book and go to Tools >
Options... The rest should be obvious.
IIRC, it is the same in Outlook 2002.
In Outlook 2000, it is not. As I recall, you would go to Tools > Services >
Outlook Address Book > Addressing, but it has been a few years since I've
seen that version.
