When I'm setting up internal contacts, Outlook is assigning them as Exchange addresses instead of STMP . . . but I want them to be SMTP. -- Brandon Smith IT Director Presentations Direct - Specialized Office Equipment & Supplies http://www.presentationsdirect.com Outlook will always resolve to the internal Exchange address, not the SMTP address. Why do you need them anyway?

exchange account (instead of the pop/smtp account which is the default). Plus I like the smtp addresses as a backup in case exchange is down. -- Brandon Smith IT Director Presentations Direct - Specialized Office Equipment & Supplies http://www.presentationsdirect.com "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" <sue***@outlookcode.com> wrote in message Outlook will always resolve to the internal Exchange address, not the SMTP news:useqJ9mUFHA.2540@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... address.

Because they are internal and you're connected to Exchange, this would be a
default occurrence. My question is why would you set someone up as a contact when they're already in the Exchange Global Address List? The GAL would always be up-to-date, if you create your own contact list it can easily get out of date as people come and go, change names, go on leave, etc. -- Show quoteK.
