anyone know how to do this in Outlook 2007.

Thanks.

Contact your Exchange admin as they will have to modify your settings.

I have the correct permissions in just seems that Send On behalf is the
default behavior. Are you saying that if my Exchange Admin has set the
correct send as permissions then the from button will act in that way?

Thanks.

I'm not an Exchange admin but I have read several articles about it;
i.e., what I know is from casual reading prodded by curiosty when
investigating a problem or an interest piqued by a topic. From what
I've read, the Exchange admin can configure individual accounts as to
whether they have "send on behalf of" or "send as" privileges. If you
want to pretend you are sending as someone else (something not generally
permitted), you need to ask your Exchange admin on granting you that
permission.

To find out how to configure Exchange, a better newsgroup to ask would
be one that discusses Exchange. Those folks are Exchange admins
answering questions on how to configure Exchange. But then if you
aren't the Exchange admin then the info is irrelevant since you'll be
asking someone else at your company who is the Exchange admin to change
your privileges.

From another of my posts:
(http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.outlook.general/msg/04b20d33c3758f68)

You need to go into the Mailbox Rights option in Exchange to alter
permissions (User Properties -> Exchange Advanced tab -> Mailbox
rights). There are 2 settings: "send on behalf of" and "send as".
"Send on behalf of" is a right you can assign to individuals (User
Properties -> Exchange General tab -> Delivery Options) and makes it
obvious to the recipient that the e-mail did NOT originate from the
usurped identity. For the user to "send on behalf of" or "send as",
they will need to be assigned as a delegate of that other account.
