outlook 2000, autocomplete email addresses doesnt work

[Guest]

The correct box is checked I think: 'name checking' box in Tool, Preferences,
Advanced....
I cleared and rechecked it, and still have to type out each address without
autocomplete.

Outlook 2000 doesn't do auto-complete. It has 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.
