Contact List when creating New Email in Outlook 2002

[softwareguy2]

When I click on the "TO" box when creating a new email, it pops up the box, and tries to look in the Outlook Address Book, which is empty, I always have to pick "Contacts" from the drop down, and I can't find a way to have contacts be the default. Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, go to Tools on the main menu, and click on Address Book. In the Address Book dialog box, click on Tools (again) and then Options. On the "Show this address list first" box, change to Contacts. Now when you click on To: in an e-mail, it will default to your Contacts folder.
