Try Advanced Find. Also, the "Type to Find a Contact" field will return
email addresses. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jerryrm" wrote in message ...

Russ,
Thanks for the response. The Advanced Find doesn't seem to recognize the email field in the Contact forms. I have been looking for the "Type to Find a Contact" field, but haven't yet. Could you point specifically where to find it? It isn't listed in the Help File that I could find, either. Thanks. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Try Advanced Find.

You must be doing something wrong, then.
Find, Advanced Find, and "Type a Contact to Find" always return any email address (or portion thereof) I type in. List the precise steps you are using and make sure you are searching in the correct folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jerryrm" wrote in message news  Russ, Thanks for the response.

Does Outlook 2000 Contacts "find' the email address field?
I go to "Find" then "Advanced Find" and have the following fields available:
"Look for: (I put any type of Outlook item since email isn't listed); In: (I specify Personal Folders; Contacts); Then there are 3 tabs: Any Items, More Choices, Advanced. Under Any Items are the following fields: Search for the word(s)  I put in the email address there); In: I put in "frequently-used text fields" there; From: (don't put in anything); Sent To: (I put in the email address again); Time: (none is already listed) On the right side of the "Advanced Find" box are buttons listed vertically: Find Now, Stop, New Search. So in all of that box I don't find "Type a contact to find" listed anywhere; nor under the tabs of "More Choices" and "Advanced". I wonder if this version is different. Under Help, About it says:Outlook 2000 SP-3 (9.0.06627) Thanks. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You must be doing something wrong, then.

Does Outlook 2000 Contacts "find' the email address field?
You may be restricting your search too much.
I go to the Contacts Folder Find Look For: type in an email address. Any Contact with that email address or any portion thereof is returned. Always has in every version. Is your Outlook Address Book functioning correctly? Maybe you aren't using Outlook. Are you using IMO mode of Outlook 2000? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jerryrm" wrote in message ...

Does Outlook 2000 Contacts "find' the email address field?
Russ,
Here is more in addition to what is just below: I added the "E-mail" field in the "Show Fields" for my Outlook Contact folder, but none of the emails show up under that heading, even though they are there. Strange.

Does Outlook 2000 Contacts "find' the email address field?
Initially I did it the way you just suggested, but when that didn't work, I
tried to do it through the Advanced Find. I don't know if my Address Book is functioning completely, but it does do regular functions from what I can tell--at least in using the Inbox and Contact form to send E-mails. I am using the IMO mode of Outlook 2000. Would it be better to use the CW approach? Thanks. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You may be restricting your search too much.
