sending to a contact who has more than one email address
When I type a contact's (from my address book) name into
the "To" box and hit the "Check names" button, it always selects the first (ie default) name; is there a quick way to choose one of the contact's alternate email addresses without having to go back to the address book, look up the contact, and do an "Actions, New Message to contact" - which will then creeate a message which includes ALL the contacts email addresses! I'm using Outlook 2000 on XP - any help greatly appreciated. Andy |

Don't type.
Just click the To: button. Select whichever address you want from the Outlook Address Book. That's what the OAB is for. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Andy Saward" wrote in message ...

sending to a contact who has more than one email address
Same problem - when I select from the OAB, only the
contact's default address is offered; I occasionally want to send to a contact's alternate email address instead of the default, and the only way to do this is to change the alternate address to become the default (click on Properties, then Name, then Set As Default) - which rather negates the idea of having a default address in the first place. -----Original Message----- Don't type.

Not possible, unless you are not using the Outlook Address Book.
The old IMO mode used the Windows Address Book. Switch to Corp/Workgroup mode if you want to use the Outlook Address Book. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Andy Saward" wrote in message ...
