Explain what you mean by a "contact list." Could be anything.
If they are separate Contact Folders, did you enable them to appear in the
Outlook Address Book in their properties?

Hi Russ. Contact list is exactly that - seperate folders which have been
sub-divided geographically of my contacts and all in expandable Contacts
folder under Folder List. I've enabled them to appear in Outlook Address Book
and now at least I can see them. When I click "To" in new email, the "Select
Names" window comes up and I can select who I want from the appropriate
folder. But it still won't give me the options if I try a short name tag
direct into the "To" field in new email. My laptop has same OS and Office
2003 and has never given this problem.

Windows XP SP2. Just installed Outlook 2003. Have eight contact lists all
linked under Contacts. When composing email, have to enter full email of
contact each time - Outlook won't link to contacts to offer me
"suggestions"
after I start typing name of contact
