MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006why won't addresses autofill as I type them in the address field
when I compose a letter and start the type the person's email address, outlook won't find the complete address for me. Can anyone help me fix this? State your Outlook version. State whether you enabled autocompletion ("Suggest Names...") State whether you have sent enough messages to have populated your autocompletion cache.

Versions of Outlook earlier than Outlook 2002 have no autocompletion feature. They have a feature called auto-resolution. If you enter part of a name or a nickname then tab out of the field (or hit Alt-K [Check Names]), Outlook will attempt to resolve the name against your address book. If it can't it'll red underline it and you can right click on the name to manually resolve it. Outlook will save the resolution for future use.

Both autoresolution and autocompletion exist in Outlook 2002 and all subsequent versions. Perhaps you had a different question. Just what is your question?

SignatureBrian Tillman i am using outlook 200 but this worked for me in Outlook Express which is much older.

Doesn't make sense Since Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express are completely unrelated applications, your conclusion that the behavior of one should reflect the behavior of the other is erroneous. SignatureBrian Tillman I liked Outlook 2000 better than Outlook 2003, and I loved the feature that you are talking about. They are calling it Auto Resolution, i say call it what you want but bring it back! > I liked Outlook 2000 better than Outlook 2003, and I loved the > feature that you are talking about.
