maintain address book?

In Win 2000 - I haven't tried it in XP - Outlook Express reads the shared
address book as default, while the fax reads the main. So you either have to
maintain identical contacts in both, or accept that half the time you have
to select the address book before getting the contacts.

Does anyone know how to edit these defaults?

The problem is this: when I import messages back into the
address book, they go into "shared" and I want them
in "main". With a small number of records I can move them
from shared to main. However, with a large number of
records I can't move them all into main.

The result is that some address records are in shared and
some are in main. This is a nuisance. Is there any way
around this problem?

export all the contacts first into a wab file. create a
profile and then
import them into the profile you have just created.

hope that helps.
