Address line in Small Business Edition

[Chris]

Have just upgraded to Outlook 2003 Small Business
Edition...I used to be able to type the name of my
contacts in the address bar and their email address used
to come up...this no longer happens and it is driving me
scatty.

I also notice that when I click on "To" it goes
to "Accounts" by default...I want it to go to "Contacts".
Does anyone know how to change it...

Many thanks

When you click on To where? What do you mean it "goes to Accounts?"

Is the Outlook Address Book Service installed and configured correctly in
your profile? Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing
directories or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the
Directories and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add
a new directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add
the OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog
box, and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did
earlier. Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change
to make sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any
of them aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as
Outlook Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties,
clicking the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as
an E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making
these changes.
