I am using Outlook in Office2000 on windows XP home.

I have 2 address books, the default called contacts that I use for personal
contacts and a second that I use for business contacts.

When I start a new email message and click the "To" or "cc" button it opens
the address book window and displays my contacts so I can quickly find & add
them to the correct To, cc or bcc address bar. However I only use this
option for business contacts as I know most of my private ones by heart so
it is a pain to have to keep switching over to the business address book
view. I have 2 questions:

1] Can I change the default settings so the window comes up by default
showing the business address book with an option to switch to contacts
rather than the other way round?

2] Does auto complete search both address books or just one?
 
I believe you can set this in tools | services | (properties of Outlook
address book)

There's no autocomplete in Outlook2k - but as long as both folders are
defined as address books, which they are, it will use autoresolve.
 
I am using outlook in internet only mode rather than workgroup mode so I get
Tools-Accounts rather than Tools-services.

Does this make a difference? I have no options related to any address books
under tools-accounts. It just shows the information about my installed
email accounts.
