Cannot automatically detect contact when enailing
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

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? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Grandpa Hardman" wrote in message ...

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.

It never has. Outlook Express would do that. WHat Outlook does is remember addresses you've used before and it will suggest those when you start typing, if you've enabled autocompletion. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I have XP Sp3 and Office 2003 Pro on my laptop and I only have to type in short name tag and the options appear. Where do I find autocompletion?
