Outlook email address autocomplete will not work for contacts that have both
an email address and a fax number. It will not recognize the email, as if
the contact has two email addresses and I have to choose. I have to click
the To:, go into contacts and select the email instead of fax. How do I get
it to only look to email addresses?

Untrue. Since autocomplete doesn't reference your contacts in any way
whatsoever, whether a contact has a fax number or not is completely
irrelevant. Autocompletion works only with those addresses to which you've
sent mail, regardless of whether or not they're in your Contacts folder.

You'll have to describe in greater detail exactly what you're doing because
what you describe is not autocompletion.

Thanks. I have had to replace things (got an Exchange server, than a new PC)
so that is probably most of it. Before when it would do it, it only did it
for an address that also had a fax (when I hit "to:" to pull up the list). I
will watch for it again with this in mind.
