i type a "a" or a "b" and do not find "andrea" which is in the address book
as "Andrea Boon"

Is there also an Anna Marie and a Billy Bob (meaning the "a" and "b" are not
unique)?

How are you accessing the address book?  Outlook version?

Thanks for your response.  Using your premise, I have many not-unique
entries.  When creating a new e-mail some pop up when I type the first letter
of their first or last name, or the first letter of the e-mail address.  It
is not consistent.  I have MS Office Outlook 2003 SP2.

What are the search criteria in Outlook to locate an entry and how can I
control it?

I sure appreciate any help.

You will get a suggestion when you've previously sent a message to the
address.  In other words, autocompletion does not reference your contacts
data in any way.  It simply remembers those whom you've mailed before,
whether or not they're in your Contacts folder.
