Outlook 2002 not on Exchange

I have 2 email boxes that I receive mail from. I have sent email from a
secondary mailbox but on the from line it shows on behalf of. How can I
setup Outlook so that it only shows the mailbox?

Thanks in advance.

Do not use the From field to specify the sending address. That's not what
it's for. It's for when you are connected to Exchange.

To specify the sending address, use the Accounts button to choose the account
that uses that address.

Outlook was not coded to deliberately lie about who is the sender of an
e-mail. When you use the From field in the new-mail compose dialog, that
merely specifies who gets put in the From header. The Sender header will
still have your own e-mail address (and why some e-mail clients will notice
the difference and display "<from> sent on behalf of <sender>" while other
e-mail client may only show the From header's value).

If you want your e-mail to be sent from other than the default account when
composing new e-mails (or the account through which an e-mail was received
and to which you reply) then click on the Accounts toolbar button to select
one of your other accounts.
