What version of Outlook? Outlook 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.
In Outlook 2002, it will build a list of familiar addresses once you enter
the address the first time. It will use this list in the future. Contrary
to popular belief, it does not pull these addresses from the contact's
folder, but from a nk2 file that it builds dynamically.
