Outlook 2003 local contacts list

Hi all

I've set up a local distribution list to go with the Global Address List in Outlook 2003.

I can't seem to get my copy of Outlook to read both (preferably my local list first).

Anyone any ideas where I'm going wrong.

I've googled the problem, and as far as I can see I've set everything up right, but still no joy.

    Further developments have transpired.
    I've checked the properties for Contacts in general and the option for "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is greyed out and I can't tick it.
    That's why it's not showing.

    Anyone any ideas?

    Go into Tools, Email Accounts and add Outlook Address Book. this should allow you to use "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book".
