MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2006auto complete To field with LDAP
I have a ldap server setup with everyone's address in their. I would like to start typing in the To: field and have it auto populate the rest in. I know you can do this if they are already in your address book, but I would like it to pull from the ldap database. Any ideas??? Outlook's autocomplete has nothing to do with the address store. It uses a separate cache of names to which you've sent messages.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I have a ldap server setup with everyone's address in their.

I guess I figured that out, what my question is, is there any way to have it pull from a ldap database somewhere..... > Outlook's autocomplete has nothing to do with the address store.

Since, as Russ said, the autocompletion doesn't ever "pull from" anywhere, no. All it does is remember addresses you've resolved in past messages.

All it does is remember addresses you've resolved in past messages. I use slapd as my LDAP backend and use it to serve contacts. I can start typing a name in the To: field and press Ctrl-K. Outlook has no problem resolving the name based on my ldap entries (and I can see my ldap server responding, so this is not some cached value in outlook, but rather a pull from my ldap server) > > I guess I figured that out, what my question is, is there any way to > > have it pull from a ldap database somewhere..... > > Since, as Russ said, the autocompletion doesn't ever "pull from" anywhere, > no.

The OP wanted his autocompletion cache to get populated from the LDAP server. The autocompletion cache doesn't work that way. SignatureBrian Tillman For more information on autocompletion and autoresolution, you may want to review one of several documents at www.ingressor.com Ran >> I use slapd as my LDAP backend and use it to serve contacts. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > autocompletion cache to get populated from the LDAP server.
