Greetings,

We are using Microsoft Outlook 2000 for our internet e-mail. We do not have an exchange server. We have contacts in our contacts. We want to start to type in the to field and have the names come up this used to work in outlook express.How do we do this? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Click on Tools, Options, Email Options, Advanced... and make sure "Automatic name checking" is checked.

Then when you address a message, just begin typing the address, type 3-4 letters and tab to the next field. Name checking doesn't begin untilyou tab out of To field.

If it finds an exact match, the name will be there. If it finds multiple possibilities, it'll be underlined with a red squiggly. Right click it and select the name you want.

Thanks it helps, I still would like it to be automatic like outlook express. I guess we will have to live with this. Here is your reward
