Outlook 2K auto completeI have a client who's hard drive crashed. I replace the hard drive and
reinstalled the OS and programs. I also restored the pst file from a current backup. They are using Office 2000. Client is complaining that there is no auto complete on email addresses in the address book. A quick Google search points to this not being a feature of Outlook 2K. Client swears that they had it last week with "old" computer. Is this a feature in Outlook2K? If not, how could she have had it? Thanks It's been many years since I stopped using OL2000. I think you're right,
auto complete is a feature of OL2002/XP and later versions. Perhaps she's talking about auto name resolution. The option is called: "suggest names when completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields" (if OL2000 has that option). Show quoteHide quote "Jack B.

autocompletion. Autoresolution will work as soon as she finishes configuring her new installation. Most likely she hasn't configured the address book service yet. For Outlook 2000, Corp/Workgroup: Go to Tools > Services. Make sure the Outlook Address Book service is listed. If not, add it. Next, R click on the Contact folder or folders you want the OAB to display, choose "Properties", go to the Outlook Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an E-mail address book" box. You may also need to go to Tools > Options > Addressing Tab and choose to show your Contacts folder. -- Show quoteHide quoteRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lisa Fox" <m*@myco.com> wrote in message news:urjtsBTrJHA.496@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hmmm ????????? > I dont know what to tell her > > "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" <russ***@mvps.org> wrote in message > news:ezTkmqMrJHA.3700@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... >> She wasn't using Outlook 2000, then.
