Why doesn't the contact name complete itself from my address book.

[jujubee777]

When I had Outlook Express with XP for my home the contact completed itself
in a new email from my address book. Outlook Express in the professional
edition doesn't seem to be connected to my contacts list. I have to enter
the email address each time. Is there a way to make it complete itself like
I am used to on the other version?
Thanks!

I think you're confused. Outlook Express has nothing to do with any version
of Office. Are you talking about Outlook... or Outlook Express? If you're
talking about Outlook... then which version? 97? 2000? 2002? or 2003?

In Outlook 2003, choose Tools - Options - Preferences tab - Email Options -
Advanced Email Options - second option from the bottom "Suggest names while
completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields".
