AutoComplete in Outlook2002 - Any clues???

[Blobby J Blobdom]

Hi all,

Just upgraded to Office XP and so have upgraded Outlook Express 6 to
Outlook 2002.

When i was using Express, when creating a new email (or
forwarding/redirecting, etc) the To: and CC: fields used to
'autocomplete', ie Id type the first couple of characters of a name or
email and Outlook would populate the rest.

Now Im using Outlook 2002, its not doing the same thing.

Ive check under Tools => Options => Email Options => Advanced and
everything seems to be in order there.

All my contacts are happily stored in my Contacts folder too.

Anyone any clues???

Thanks

How many messages have you sent? Autocompletion uses a cache of addresses
from messages you have sent, not your address book.

Russ,

Thank you for your reply.

I actually found some info in the Knowledge base which pointed me in
this direction.

You're quite right, as I use it more its starting to work better.
