410,
Personally I do not use OLE or OL but several of my employees do. I was helping my Groundschool HOT yesterday with OL. When we entered the email address it did offer autocomplete options. As we typed in the address, it showed all the email addresses that matched what we had typed in so far and narrowed down as we continued to type.
As for moving the DB locations, OL will allow you to store the DBs in any location you specify. I have even setup the OL DBs on the network server drive so the person would not have to worry about backing up their workstation.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. The version I was using was from Office XP.
