Express seems to have a bit better address book than Outlook. It auto
completes a known address when you begin typing and it automatically saves
the original sender's address when replying.

Is there any way to set those features up in Outlook?

Thanks,

KC

OL2003 does auto-completion based on previous entries but I don't think it
will auto-create contacts any longer (previous versions did)

I have the 2000 version and I can't get it to do either but my uses Express
and it does both. Thanks for the response.

Outlook 2000 can't do autocompletion (i.e., typing in the To field brings up
previously-mailed addresses) byt it can do autoresolution (i.e, finding
likely matches in your Contacts when you enter three letters of the name and
press CTRL-K)
