Hello,

When I send an email in Outlook 2007/Windows 7 and I select 'To', the Contact List is not my full list but a much shorter one.

If I select the drop down under Address Book in the Select Names window, sure enough my full contact list is there but the 'To' does not automatically default it as it did until yesterday.

This could be something to do with having sync'd my iphone with Outlook but have done it many times before no problem.

How can I change the Contact List which my 'To' button first looks to.

I could delete the shorter list if I knew how as it has no use but have exhausted all possible solutions I have yet found.

Thanks in advance.

Here is how to change the default address list:

Thank you, that worked fine.

I went through these steps several times. It does change the "look in these lists first" box, but when I open Address Book, it still shows Global as the default list to check. I have to change it to the address book I want to get an address from.

As I said, I tried all that, but in my options, under Show this address list first, My Frequent Contacts does not show up in the list. I only have Global and the other default lists showing. My Frequent Contacts shows up under "When sending mail...." I have it as the first list to check. But, when I click "to" and the address book opens, it is always on Global. Do I need to copy or rename or what?
