outlook 2000/auto name fill in won't work

[cjh]

When making new email messages and using contacts already
entered the auto name fill in option doesn't work. Is
there a place to turn on this feature? Everyone else
I've asked (and the books I've read) say this is an
automatic feature! But not on my outlook 2000.

Any help is appreciated. I'm tired of typing

Outlook 2000 doesn't have an auto-complete feature. It has an auto-resolve
feature. If you enter an abbreviated form of an existing Contact, Outlook
2000 will attempt to resolve it to that contact. If it underlines it green,
it means it found a match. If it underlines it red, it means there are
multiple, possible matches and you can right click the address to select one
of the other possible matches.
