Only the horrible Outlook 2000 IMO version had that feature. See http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/addauto.htm for information on it.

How do I avoid creating a new record in Contacts when emailing
I have Outlook 2003. I have been through all the Option tabs and have found
nothing to check or uncheck that will eliminate this problem. Any other suggestions? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Only the horrible Outlook 2000 IMO version had that feature.

You didn't find it because, as I indicated, Outlook 2003 has no feature to create new contacts in your Contacts folder when you send to someone. The most likely explanation is that you have an addin installed or some VBA code that's creating new contacts.

Unfortunately, that's is something I can't fix on my own. Would a computer
specialist be able to locate something like that?

How do I avoid creating a new record in Contacts when emailing
What makes you think it is creating a Contact? Is it that it remembers
their name when you start typing it? If so, that is not a Contact - that is autocomplteion. Outlook 2003 (and 2002) remembers recently used names. You can remove them from the drop down list in the To... field using the down arrow and delete button.
