  Question
  I have imported a second contact list to my outlook account. It shows up as a
sub-folder under my original contact folder... That is fine, but what I
would like to know is, when I click on the address book in the "to" field or
the "cc" field of an email, I would like this "second contact list" to show
up in drop down box "show names from the:" it only shows the address book,
and original contacts folder. is there a way for this drop down list to show
both contact lists?

  Right click on the new contact folder, choose Properties, go to the Outlook
Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an email address book"
box

  I tried these steps. when I open properties in the new folder it does not
have the Address Book Tab. This option is only available in my original
contact folder.

What do you see on the Properties dialogue? What's contained in the "When
posting to this folder, use" drop-down?

Where is this other Contacts folder? Is it a shared folder? Is it in the
same data store as your default Contacts?

Open the soource folder, select the contact or contacts, then click
Edit>Copy (or Move) to Folder. Select the destination folder. Click OK.
