MS Outlook issue

[Simond001]

Morning all,

The outlook on new laptop doesnt seem to have the autocomplete facility that i have on old laptop and pc's. Any way that this can be added without buying new office suite? I used the same disc as well??
Many thanks in advance
Simond

Tools -> Options -> Email options -> Advanced email options

Automatic name checking

and

Suggest names while completing

are probably the options you are looking for

Thanks for the reply, I dont appear to have the option "suggest names while completing"

Auto name checking is ticked.

Outlook 2000 only autocompletes names a few seconds after you've tabbed out of the names box and into the main body of the message, or if you press ctrl-k at any time. Ambiguous names will be underlined in red, otherwise will be underlined in black. Theres a chance its different for different kinds of address book within O2K but the above it correct for the ones I've used recently e.g. LDAP and contacts.

If it's not doing this, check that the names are accessible through the full address book button, and that there are no broken entries in the outlook address book as a whole as this will stop it working.
