....well, let me ask this:
1. What version of Outlook are you using?
2. Is the contacts folder set to be used as an email address book?
3. Are you using contacts or the address book?

There is quite a bit of miscommunication in this post w/ no real
resolution.
I recently moved from Outlook Express to Outlook and I am having this same
issue.

I would like to have the addresses recognized when I am typing them in
(not
the n2k feature), just the basic autocomplete that Outlook Express uses
(e.g.
I type in "john d" and the address book automatically fills in "john doe".

I have the buttons checked to make this happen, but it does not work (it
never fills in the address). I am assuming there is a disconnect between
the
address book and the email, though I have specified the priorities of
address
books. I have been trying to resolve this for about 5 hours now and am
surprised at the lack of information/resolve.

Thanks,
Greg
