When I add a new contact that has several, different email ids (work, home,
personal, Hotmail, etc.), the WAB makes all entries the default email. I
can't get around it. Obviously then I have to select from the list when
sending that person an email. It's very frustrating. I'm running XP SP2.
I've removed and reinstalled OE, no help. By the way, I built the address
book one entry at a time, I did not import it from some other corrupted
version. I would appreciate ay assistance, I've searched all over the
internet and cannot find another example of this problem.

The best way to get around this is to have separate entries for each
address. If you have 3 addresses for one person, create 3 entries in your
AB, not in one profile.

Create separate, differently named Contacts (e.g., Rockster-Home,
Rockster-Work, Rockster-Personal, Rockster-Hotmail) and use only the
pertinent address for each.

OR

Open Address Book > Highlight a Contact with multiple addresses > Action >
Send mail to > ...

I have used separate entries for each email id. This has always worked in
the past.

Please include all of previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup.

Is each entry uniquely named?
