I do not want the names on my Contacts or Business Contacts entries to appear
in the 'TO' field of the email when it is received by the recipient. For
instance a Contact in the Address might have 'George at Home' on the name
field and currently this appears next to his email address when he gets my
emal. How can I change the setting so only the email address is on messages I
send.
 
Change the display name.

The point is I use the names (I assume you mean the First/Last Name field
when you say Display Name) for my benefit within my Address Book. What I
don't want is the system using these, why can't it simply put the email
address only in the 'TO' field of the email?
 
That's not what Milly said. She told you to change the display name.
You never mentioned your Outlook version. In most, you'll find that as the
"Display As" field in the Contact Record.

I am running Version 2.00.4324 of Microsoft Office Outlook with Business
Manager Update SP1.

In my Business Contact card, where do I find Display As? I can see a File
As but that is not the same.

No idea. BCM is a separate product with a separate group.
In Outlook, it is right below the email field.
