MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2006email address shown only as name
I want to see the email address of the person to whom I'm addressing email instead of the name of the addressee. When I select from contacts folder it only show name. Is there a preference that will show address instead of name? Thanks, sjw8585 > I want to see the email address of the person to whom I'm addressing > email instead of the name of the addressee.

The Address Book will show the address when you choose the name to add to the recipient field. WIthin the recipient field, however, the Display Name will show when you resolve the address. Modify your Display Name fields to show the address if you wish.  SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks Brian, Where and how do I modify the Display Name field to show the address? Can I set that as a default? Signaturesjw8585 > I want to see the email address of the person to whom I'm addressing email > instead of the name of the addressee.

Can I set that as a default? Open the Contact record and set the DIsplay Name. It's the "Display as" field right below the mail address field. SignatureBrian Tillman Hi Again, Brian. I appreciate the help. I am not seeing a "display as" button right below the email address or the regular mail address. Could that be that I'm running Outlook 2000? Where else might I look?

SignatureBrian Tillman Hi Brian, Still trying. When I click on the name that is all I see in the email address area, I get an error message that reads, "Cannot perform the requested operation. The command requested is not valid for this recipient." That happens for each contact where the name appears instead of an email address. Any other suggestions?

SignatureBrian Tillman Yes, the person is a contact, and yes, I opened the contact record. There are 2 addresses, both snail and email. I assume you are saying to double click on the email address, but I have double clicked on them both. The email address is the one that gives the error message. Signaturesjw8585 > > Still trying.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to address the problem. I've never seen it and when I double-click the email address, I see a display field. SignatureBrian Tillman Well, thanks anyway. Can you suggest anybody else who might be able to help?

Perhaps someone else reading this thread will be able to jump in. SignatureBrian Tillman You've not posted enough information for anyone to help. Post your mail support mode of Outlook 2000. If you don't know, then tell us what line 2 of Outlook > Help | About says. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Well, thanks anyway. Can you suggest anybody else who might be able to > help? [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> it >> and when I double-click the email address, I see a display field. Hi Russ, It says Microsoft Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.3821) Internet Mail Mail Only. Below that it says - Import/Export Converters Dataviz,Inc. The problem is that when I address an email or try to add an address to an email either as a CC or BCC, I cannot see the email address of the intended recipient. I can only see the name of the intended recipient in the email address window. There must be a setting or preference somewhere that will allow me to do this but I've tried everything that Brian suggested in the thread above, and none of it has worked. Thanks for any help you can lend. Sjw8585 Signaturesjw8585 > You've not posted enough information for anyone to help. Post your mail > support mode of Outlook 2000.

It is Outlook Express in disguise. It provides none of the usual Outlook features and was quickly abandoned both by Microsoft and by most users. You cannot do what you want and are long overdue for an upgrade to Outlook.

Everything says Outlook and in the programs dropdown menu, Outlook Express doesn't even appear. This problem only started when I upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. I installed the exact Microsoft Office 2000 Premium and the Windows Outlook from there. Is there a solution? Thanks, Sjw8585 Signaturesjw8585 > Thought so. IMO is not really Outlook.

You can easily switch to the full version of Outlook. IMO is a simplified version of Outlook that does not use extended MAPI and must use many of OE's transports (like for the address book service for exampl.) That's why you cannot access the display name). The display name is of so little consequence, you should look carefully before you switch to see if you really want to use the full version of Outlook: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/choosingmode.htm SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Hi Russ, > [quoted text clipped - 64 lines] >> >> >> it >> >> >> and when I double-click the email address, I see a display field. |
