Autocomplete by Address Only?
Lots of people I correspond with do not have email addresses that match
their names. Example: Tom Brown is , etc When I use autocomplete and type Bro, I never get Tom Brown. I would have to remember to type Lad... to get autocomplete to work. Why try to remember an address? Autocomplete works for John Smith if I type Joh, so it's not that Outlook is not working on my machine. I understand how autocomplete works - but I don't see a setting that will allow me to autocomplete the address based on Name, rather than address. I'm using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP Have I missed a setting or option?

If you enter "Tom" do you get Tom Brown?

Autocomplete by Address Only?
There does not seem to be any consistent result. 2 names in my contact
list work differently (although both are set up the same). However, typing the first few letters of the email address always works. Suggestions?

Autocomplete by Address Only?
As I type a name, I get whatever is in the NK2 file - apparently first
name. But, I also get actual email addresses that begin with 'T'. In some cases, I don't see a name, only an email address. So: if I type 'T' I get Tom (and other names with T) if I type 'B' I do not get Brown (and other names with B) if I type 'R' I get (and other names with R) But if I want Pinky Smith ), I can only get that by typing 'R' Hope you can understand the examples. Thanks. Diane Poremsky [MVP] wrote: Autocomplete is detached from the contacts list - the full names should be in autocomplete though, at least for the people you replied.
