Set a Default Address Book

[John]

I have 4 different address books set-up on my Outlook XP. When I click on
the "To" button to send a mail, I would prefer it to default then to my
business address book, but it seems to list them alphabetically - can you
set a default?

Thanks

Open the Address Book.
Tools > Options > Show this address list first.

Thanks for your reply Russ, but I can't see anywhere it says "Show this
address list first"

Maybe I should have said I use Outlook 2002?

Open the Address Book.
Tools > Options > Show this address list first.

Make sure you are opening the Address Book from the Toolbar, not the To:
button.
