559372 2007-06-15 01:57:00 When creating a new email in Outlook 2000 and typing the recipient's name in the "To" field, how do I get it to automatically bring up names already in my contact book? e.g. with Outlook Express, when I started to type "Jo" in the 'To" field, it would bring up "Jo Bloggs" and I simply had to click on that.

But my Outlook 2000 does not do this, even for frequently used contacts. So I have to click on the "To" field, then type the name in the contacts box - and even then it only gets me part way through the list. I have searched through all of the options in the tool bar, plus tried using the Help menu, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

559373 2007-06-15 02:39:00 You may have to click on check names, altho in 2007 (dont know if this works in 2000) .

On the Tools menu, click Options .

On the Preferences tab, click E-mail Options, and then click Advanced E-mail Options .

Tick/clear the Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields check box .

Outlook 2000 must be a little different to your version, and the nearest I can see is an "Automatic name checking" box under the "When sending a message" heading. It makes no difference to my problem whether this box is ticked, or not.

Any other suggestions?
