Hi all,
In recent versions of Outlook we can type in the start of a name we
have used previously and the cache will auto suggest for us. Great.
Once you learn how to delete out-of-date ones...even better.

The format that appears is Firstname Lastname and then in <> brackets
the exchange directory name.

eg. Mary Bloggs <Mary.Bloggs>

Rather confusing.... but fine.

HOWEVER
If 'Mary' gets married and decides to change her name the suggested
address (after deleting the old one and recreating) shows as:

Mary.Smith <Mary.Bloggs>

..because the directory name isn't changed.

Is this just a 'feature' that you have to live with or can it be
changed? Married names aren't so bad. People are more fussy after a
divorce or, in one case we have, when a typo on account creation has
changed their gender!

Are we overlooking something obvious here?

Many thanks

Graeme

Hello,

First, we have a utility that enables the editing of the NK2 file. However,
it seems that you have additional issues. First, you should probably check
out this doc that we wrote on autocomplete. In it we mention our utility of
course. Go to http://www.dcs-imaging.com/autocompletetips.htm and review
the material there. It should help. Our utility can be found at:
http://www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm , it's called Owtlook.

If none of that helps, write to me at info at the above domain and I'll try
to help.

Randy
