MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2005Searching of Company via Address Book
I am currently using outlook 2003. Everytime i want to forward a mail to a particular person in my contacts(which contains thousands of records), i would click "Forward"->click "To"->Advanced->Find then type in the name of person i want to forward to. However i understand that this "Find" function for the Address Book only look for the First Name and Last Name. So if i happen to forget the person name and only know he is from XYZ company. I would not be able to find via the "Find" function in the address book. I would then need to go to "Contact" and use the search function to locate the person name and look for its name in the address book again. Is there any where around this. So that from "new Message", i just need to click "find" and i will be able to look for the First Name, Last Name, Company Name, Email, etc.... just like Outlook 2000. Thanks Jon Did you use Outlook 2000 in Internet mode or Corporate mode? Nothing has changed between Outlook 2000 Corporate and Outlook 2003. BTW - you don't need to use the To button if you know the persons name or email address - just type in the first few letters and Outlook will resolve it.

I am aware the we can just type in the person name or email address. But in my case, i have just too many records to remember their details. LIke what i have done in outlook 2000, the Find function in address book allows me to search through the records of various fields like FirstName, last Name, Company and etc. However in this version of outlook 2003, they seems to have removed this Find Function and shift it from "address book" to "Contact". So is there any other way to forward an email without having to go through all the stuff i have describe in my previous post? Thanks Jon > Did you use Outlook 2000 in Internet mode or Corporate mode?
