RE: [IMail Forum] OT: Outlook Address AutoComplete

Mr. Haskett,

 

The last time this happened to me... The Auto-Complete function had to rebuild based on the application. I switched a user from Express 5 to Outlook 2K and it just took time and manually entering the names. I never found docs on this feature ;-) There may be a better way but the situation for me was a one time deal.

 

Thankx,

 

Kirk

Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: Outlook Address AutoComplete

I have a user that I just switched from Outlook Express as his mail client to Outlook 2000. He has almost 2 gigs of email stored on his machine which he claims he needs to store and have quick access to and OE just doesn't handle large email storage very efficiently.

 

His gripe now is that when he goes to send an email, Outlook 2000 doesn't auto complete the email address in the "To:" field like OE did. I found how to use the "Check Names" button on the toolbar but he doesn't want to use this extra step to send email (he is a VERY BUSY man, cough cough).

 

I have searched all the newsgroups and tech websites that I can think of and I even RTFM. However, I know that Micro$oft programmers also put things into the software that never make it into a manual. Any suggestions would be helpful.

 

Thanks.
