In Outlook 2003 SP2, under Compose email, when entering To: <part of the userid or lastname> then click on check mark, it look for the userid or lastname. How do I tell Outlook to look up the firstname, lastname, email address, and user id, therefore e.g. for John Mattingly, with user id jmattingly, and email address john.mattingly@yankee.com, under To: form field, i can just fill in either John, Matting, jmatting, or john.mattingly, etc, keywords and when clicking on the checkbox it will fill in the correct email address for the person in question. If there other users has similar name, it should display all of them.

Thanks

That's the way Outlook performs autoresolution (not autocomplete) out of the box. If you are seeing other behavior, please describe the symptoms.
