This may or may not work for you, but this is what I have found...and unfortunately I don't know the detailed mechanics of it to explain what must or must not be enabled to get the same results... When composing a new message I enter the fist few letters of a recipients (already in global address book/contacts/or personal address book) last name and move to the next appropriate field (CC, BCC, Body...) and the email address is automagically inserted. When more than one name is needed I separate them with commas. I do know that this feature is an option (OL2K: Tools Menu, Options, Email Options, Advanced Email Options, Check both allow comma as address separator AND automatic name checking). If you have a lot of contacts this can be a tad slow, but I have over 150 and about the same in the global address book and I don't find it terrible. Now for the first few times I send email to a contact that has multiple stored items I have to right-click on that name (red zig-zag line under name warns me there are multiple possibilities for this contact) and select between say Bob Smith (E-mail) or Bob Smith (Fax) or Bob Smith (Pager), etc. When I have done this, usually just once, the next time I use that name (without opening an address book) it automagically populates the email address for that contact. I am not sure if clearing your personal history lists would affect this as I have not seemed to notice anything, but I could be wrong. There may also be more settings that are helping this happen that I am not aware of. It works for me and I HATE opening an address book anyway. Example for me would be a message to bob smith, caren jaques, jamie hernandez, michael stone I only enter smit, jaq, hern, ston and move to begin typing my message, and the names complete themselves properly. The more of the last name you enter the faster the search with an EXACT hit - especially when there are similarly spelled last names (smith and smithen are a good example). Also this search appears to be keyed off of the DISPLAY NAME not the actual email address. I change all contacts email addresses to use the persons first and then last name as the display name. Hope you have the same luck because THIS SAVES ME A TON OF TIME - I would not use my email as much otherwise. Daniel

I think the alternative is put the fax info in another field. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Vantine [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 8:01 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Simple Outlook Question I ran across the same issue with one of my users. Yes you can remove the contents of the Fax field and email will no longer bring up the Fax contact but this also means that you can not store fax numbers in your contacts. It seems that there should be a way to disable the feature so you can maintain fax numbers for your contacts and not be forced to choose the email contact or fax contact every time you want to send an email to that contact. -----Original Message----- From: Ellery July [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 6:30 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Simple Outlook Question You can delete/remove the fax field from the contact list and that would eliminate the issue. ellery -----Original Message----- From: Paul Armstrong [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 4:26 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Simple Outlook Question I have a client who just recently converted there email from using POP to MAPI. This user is remotely located and was using her personal email and now is using both in the same profile. She just called to say that when she types a persons name in the To: field of an email and that recipients also has a fax number allocated, that she gets to choices to send the email to. It would be a good function except for she is not using any type of fax programs from her PC. So she would like to only send email messages to email recipients not fax recipients. Is there a way to turn that feature off so that the fax recipients don't show up when recipient names are being resolved. I think that it is stupid that it would want to list a fax number for an email message when no faxing is going to occur. Any ideas? TIA!
