Hi,
I had Outlook 2003 where when I typed in someones name it would autofill but
now that I am on the beta of 2007, it does not do this. How do I get it set
up so I do not have to remember everyone's email address.
Thank you,
Ryan
 
It should do this as well. If not your profile is corrupted and needs to be
recreated. For details on doing this see;

Roady:

I have several different address books in my CONTACTS folder (using OL 2007).
When I attempt to access these books to insert a name or email address, the
similar window pops up as in OL2003; however, when I need to select and
address from any Address Book beyond the first TWO in my folder list, there
is no accessibility whatsoever. In other words, the drop-down menu only
offers the primary CONTACTS list and whichever secondary book I may choose to
position in the folder line-up.

Any suggestions?
 
Make sure you've marked the additional Contacts folder as an Outlook Address
Book as well;
rightclick the Contacts folder-> Properties-> tab Outlook Address Book.
