Hi,
I've just set-up a new installation of Outlook 2003 and imported all my
emails, contact, calendar etc.

Its an exchange email account.

Autocomplete in the 'To' field is not working. It is turned on in advanced
settings.

Is this feature only running form the cache of pre-typed email address or is
it from the contacts list ? Or does it not work with an exchange account ?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Aloha jsltd,

AutoCompete is not the same as AutoResolve. AutoComplete works off a cache
of pretyped addresses; AutoResolve works against your Outlook Address Book
(which should include your Contacts folder).

Hi Ben,
Thank you for replying and the autocomplete cache answers my original
question.

I've not heard of AutoResolve, but this sounds like it will help if it runs
off the address book. Can you tell me how to enable it ? I've checked the
help in Outlook and searched these posts but found nothing on AutoResolve.

Thanks.

After entering a portion of a name in the To field, click "Check Names" on
the Standard toolbar, press CTRL-K, or tab out of the field. Outlook will
either resolve the name or underline what you typed with a red squiggle.
RIght-click and you'll get a suggestion list of names. Choose one and
Outlook will remember it for the next time.
