I recently upgraded to Outlook from OE. I am used to an email address in my
address book appearing automatically after I type the first several letters.
Outlook isn't doing this. How can I make it happen?

That feature was added in OL2002. What version are you using?

See if the suggest option is checked here: Tools menu > Options > Email >
Advanced

Just in case you are expecting more than you'll get.....

Outlook only suggests names which you have recently used. This
autocompletion function is NOT looking at your Contacts - only names you
recently sent email to.

Hi,

Delete <OutlookProfile.NK2> file from 'C:\Documents and
Settings\<ProfileName>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook' folder. If
you are planning to use the same in future just *rename* it.

Regards,

Vilas

I checked one more box that included the words"autocomplete." That may have
done it. Don't know how I missed it before because that's the first place I
went. Thanks. I'll let you know.
