Displaying Email Addresses as "Fred (E-mail 1)" is useless

[John Ortt]

When I go to send a new e-mail, my current Outlook setup displays the
Addresses as "Fred (E-mail 1)", despite me adding descriptive entries in the
contacts list.

Is there any way to change:

Fred (E-mail 1)
Fred (E-mail 2)
Fred (E-mail 3)

Into:

Fred (Home)
Fred (Work)
Fred (Uni)

(I.E. As per the descriptions I have set up)

Or:

Fred ([email protected])
Fred ([email protected])
Fred ([email protected])

(I.E. the actual e-mail addresses)

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

John

That would depend on your Outlook version.
The (email) designation following the address can not be removed through any
of the menu or options screens. Instead you must modify the resources of
the contab32.dll file. See:

Thanks Russ, I'll look into that
