Ran into this question today…
I have multiple contact lists, how do I change the default address book that Outlook uses?
Here are the directions for anyone else who wants to know.

From the Tools menu, select Address Book… . The Address Book will open in a new window.
In the new Address Book window, from the Tools menu, select Options… .
Under “Show this address list first:”, use the scroll-down menu to select the appropriate listing (i.e., Personal Address Book, Global Address Book, or Outlook Address Book).
To save the changes, click Apply.
Outlook 98 and 2000
From the Tools menu, select Services… , then click the Addressing tab.
