Multiple Contact Lists in Outlook

I have Outlook and besides having the contact list called "contacts" i've created additional lists and have seperated person's email address in them.
I just recently had to switch Pc's and when I open Outlook it finds the Outlook Contacts list but doesn't list my other contacts when i compose a new message.
if i goto the "contacts section, they are all there but when i compose a new message it defaults to Contacts but the drop down arrow doesn't show the rest.
Any suggestions on showing all of them.

The work around is to export the other lists and them re import them but that's a lot of work.
thanks.
Bill

 

Do you have a problem or are you telling us how to do something?
In todays world, thumb drives are cheap and make things like this very quick and easy.

 

yes i have a problem but i didnt' want someone to tell me about the work around i know about.

it won't list all the contact folders when creating a message it only shows 'contacts' no other ones like "Garages ", "Banks" "DELL" "HP ", etc..

 

That is about the easiest way other then to type them one at a time.
