BACKGROUND:
With Business Contact Mngr installed, when I click the "Send" button, the
Outlook "Select Names" dialog box defaults to the "Accounts" list.
In order to select an individual contact, one must:
1) Select "Contacts" from the "Show Names from the" drop down box
2) Type in all/part of a contact's name in the "Type Name or Select from
List" field or click into the contact names list

QUESTION:
Is there a way to configure Outlook Email, with Business Contact Manager
installed, so that the "Select Names" dialog box defaults to "Contacts" vice
"Accounts"?

Thanks for any insights provided,
 
Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options -- that's where you set the list
that's shown first in the Select Names dialog.
 
Then you need to add the lists that you want to use for name resolution.

I can't. In the "Addressing" Window, the first drop down is empty and the
button to add lists is not available. What else?

Do you have the Outlook Address Book installed in your mail profile? Check
Tools | Email Accounts | View or change existing directories ...

Are you referring to an address book on a server? If so, no.

ALSO: I've been trying to post a question on this forum for the last two
days and it has not shown up yet:

My inbox has showed up in my business contacts activities box. I've tried
clearing all caches and re-installing and that does not work. Any suggestions?
 
No, I'm referring to the Outlook Address Book, the container for all address
lists built from contacts folders. What do you see in the dialog I referred
to? If Outlook Address Book is not there, add it, then restart Outlook.
