Anyone know how to make Outlook "auto-complete" the name
when I send an email? I used to be able to type just
someone's first name, tab to the subject line and the
guy's email address would magically appear on the "To"
line. That's how it used to be before I had to flatten my
machine. Now, I can't get it back to how it used to be.

That's not autocomplete.
That's autoresolution.
Post your Outlook version and how you've configured your Outlook Address
Book.

Depending on your version of Outlook, you can go to: Tools, Option,
Preferences Tab, E-Mail Options, Advanced E-Mail Aptions and check the box
next to "Suggest names when completing To:, Cc:, and Bcc: fields."

This info. isn't stored in your Contact folder. It is stored in a separate
system file. That file can be opened using an editor called Owtlook found
at www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm
