My email address auto completion doesn't work in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

Hi, I just changed over from Outlook Express to Outlook. I imported all my
mail and address book, and the program is working well except for the auto
completion. When I attempt to type in the first few letters of outgoing email
address (which are in my address book, and used all the time), the suggested
email address does not come up. I checked on the Microsoft help site and it
appears that this function should be in the "on" position by default. There
should also be a item in Advanced email options which allows the suggested
email addresses to come up, but my version does not have this box to click.
My version is 9.0.0.2416.

Can anyone shed some light on this problem??

Thank you

Claire

Version 9.x is OL2000 which didn't have auto-suggest. That was added in
OL2002 (v10)

It (OL2000) does, however, have a feature called auto-resolution. If you
enter part of a name or a nickname then tab out of the field (or hit Alt-K
[Check Names]), Outlook will attempt to resolve the name against your
address book. If it can't it'll red underline it and you can right click on
the name to manually resolve it. Outlook will save the resolution for future
use.

Thanks, Vince. I tried typing a few letters, then the alt-k and it did come
up. Not as easy as the suggested address, but better than typing the whole
address.

Thanks again,

Claire
