Auto fill in email address as you type?

[Neil]

I have been asked by a customer of mine about being bale
to autofill the email address as you type.

When using MS Exchange this facility is available.

However my customer has 2700 contacts in his addressbook
and does not want to scroll through them to find an
address. He just wants to start typing the persons name
and as he gets part way through he wants Outlook to start
auto filling until the correct name / email address is
selected.

Is there any way of doing this on Outlook 2000.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Neil

No, autocomplete was added in Outlook 2002. Outlook 2000 uses
autoresolution.

So how do I set up the Autoresolution?

Is there a setting the options / preferences?

Thanks,

Neil

If you're using Outlook 2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode, choose Tools |
Services | Addressing to designate what address lists are used to resolve
names. If you're using OL2000 in Internet Mail Only mode, there is no
setting; Outlook automatically resolves against your Contacts folder.
