RE: OT: Interesting Outlook problem

["Jon Whiten" <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To sort a similar problem I created a custom form for the contact folder
that was the same as the standard contact form but with the addition of the
following code:

Function Item_Close()
If Not Item_Saved Then
Prompt = "Do you want to save " & Item.FullName &
"?"
If MsgBox(Prompt, vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Sure?") = vbYes
Then
Item.Subject=left(Item.CompanyName,15) + ".." +
Item.LastName + "," + Left(Item.FirstName,1)
Item.Save
Else
Item_saved = True
End If
End If
End Function

Obviously culled from somewhere and modified but I have no idea where from!

This had two benefits:

1.	CTRL K does what you are looking to do
2.	When you are in the address book when creating an email all the
contacts for a company are grouped together.

Hi all,

In Outlook 2003, is there anyway I can get outlook to search on different
fields when I am composing a new message?

For instance, I have contacts stored with "Name" being the
persons Name, but
"File As" being the persons company - this is much easier for
people who
know they have to write to a company, but not sure of the contact within
that company.

When I put "companyname" into the "To" field in outlook
and press CTRL-K it
cant find it (because it isnt searching the File As field)

Is there a way I can get this to work?

Thanks

paul
