How can I force Outlook to look in personal contacts before public? XP/XP

[JS]

Good afternoon, all. My personal contact list is often more up-to-date than the public one on the Exchange server, but Outlook gets its info from the public list first. This means my e-mails are going to an old, unused address.
How can I change this? Of course, I could just type in the e-mail address, or create a contact with a different name and use that, but surely there's a more elegant solution.
Thank you!

You didn't post your Outlook version. Rather hard to answer you.
