Correct but, as in the case of surnames, it narrows down the range you need to look at. I guess this isn't going to work from your reaction. Perhaps you need to set up a contacts folder indexed by employee number and put this on everyone's address list.

Lets say I add a ABV and I set custom attribute 1 for my whole site as a employee ID number. Then I go to my mailbox and set the value of the employee id number to 9999. Shouldn't I then be able to compose a new mail message from my Outlook client and in the 'to' field enter '9999' and it will know that is me? If that is the case then it doesn't appear to be working. I can click on 'to' and point it to the ABV and choose my mailbox from their, but what is the point of that???? If I wanted that I would just go tot the GAL and do it that way. e- -----Original Message----- From: Roger Mackenzie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 2:27 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: addressing to a custom attribute? We do this using address book views for surname base on custom attribute 1 (as it happens). Works fine. -----Original Message----- From: Hansen, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 May 2002 23:34 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: addressing to a custom attribute? Oops sorry.
