I want to see the email address of the person to whom I'm addressing email
instead of the name of the addressee. When I select from contacts folder it
only show name. Is there a preference that will show address instead of name?

Thanks,

The Address Book will show the address when you choose the name to add to
the recipient field. WIthin the recipient field, however, the Display Name
will show when you resolve the address. Modify your Display Name fields to
show the address if you wish.
 
Thanks Brian, Where and how do I modify the Display Name field to show the
address? Can I set that as a default?

Open the Contact record and set the DIsplay Name. It's the "Display as"
field right below the mail address field.
 
Hi Again, Brian.

I appreciate the help. I am not seeing a "display as" button right below
the email address or the regular mail address. Could that be that I'm
running Outlook 2000?
Where else might I look?

Thanks,

OK, then, double-click the email address. That should open another window
that contains a "Display as" equivalent.
 
Hi Brian,

Still trying. When I click on the name that is all I see in the email
address area, I get an error message that reads, "Cannot perform the
requested operation. The command requested is not valid for this recipient."
That happens for each contact where the name appears instead of an email
address. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Is this person a contact? Did you open their Contact record and
double-click the mail address?
 
Yes, the person is a contact, and yes, I opened the contact record. There
are 2 addresses, both snail and email. I assume you are saying to double
click on the email address, but I have double clicked on them both. The
email address is the one that gives the error message.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to address the problem. I've never seen it
and when I double-click the email address, I see a display field.
 
You've not posted enough information for anyone to help. Post your mail
support mode of Outlook 2000. If you don't know, then tell us what line 2 of
Outlook > Help | About says.
 
Hi Russ,
It says Microsoft Outlook 2000 SR-1 (9.0.0.3821) Internet Mail Mail Only.
Below that it says - Import/Export Converters Dataviz,Inc.

The problem is that when I address an email or try to add an address to an
email either as a CC or BCC, I cannot see the email address of the intended
recipient. I can only see the name of the intended recipient in the email
address window.

There must be a setting or preference somewhere that will allow me to do
this but I've tried everything that Brian suggested in the thread above, and
none of it has worked.

Thanks for any help you can lend.

Thought so. IMO is not really Outlook. It is Outlook Express in disguise. It
provides none of the usual Outlook features and was quickly abandoned both
by Microsoft and by most users. You cannot do what you want and are long
overdue for an upgrade to Outlook.

Hi Russ,

Wow, I've always been under the impression that I've been using Outlook.
Everything says Outlook and in the programs dropdown menu, Outlook Express
doesn't even appear. This problem only started when I upgraded from Windows
2000 to Windows XP. I installed the exact Microsoft Office 2000 Premium and
the Windows Outlook from there.

Is there a solution?

Thanks,
Sjw8585

You can easily switch to the full version of Outlook. IMO is a simplified
version of Outlook that does not use extended MAPI and must use many of OE's
transports (like for the address book service for exampl.) That's why you
cannot access the display name).
The display name is of so little consequence, you should look carefully
before you switch to see if you really want to use the full version of
Outlook:
