Outlook 2003 autofill

[Andrew Edwards]

I am used to outlook express and the way it autofills from your address book.
Is there any way to do this in outlook, so instead of filling from
previously sent e-mails it will look at the entire address book????

Thank you for nay help with this issue.

Look in Tools->OPtions->Email Options. You can turn on autocomplete but you will need to send mail to your contacts in order for the autocomplete cache to work.

A quick workaround is to select all names in your address book and place them in the TO: field and then press Alt+K. This causes them all to resolve and be added to your AC Cache. Then delete the mail without sending.

First - to clarify, do you want to add addresses you send to, to the address
book or use existing contacts as a source when you send?

If when sending, outlook has autoresolve for that. Type part of the name and
outlook will complete it when you tab out of the field or press alt+K to do
it sooner.
