I am using Outlook 2003.

One particular contact would not show up when I typed in name at "To:" nor
would it work when I tried to put it in a distribution list. It was this one
contact that was causing the problem.

I deleted the contact completely, all emails to that person, everywhere I
could find the email address in Outlook. I closed (I even restarted my
computer) Outlook. I created an entirely new Contact and changed the name.
(this is after hours of trying to get this address to work). Now that I have
created a new contact, I cannot type in the email address. It pulls up the
previous "Display Name" and puts that in the email.

It will NOT allow me to type in her email address.

Perhaps by now you've noticed that autocompletion has nothing whatsoever to
do with your Contacts.
Remove individual addresses from the autocompletion cache by highlighting
the entry when presented in the suggested names list (use your arrow key to
migrate to the entry) and then hitting your Delete key before you tab out of
the field.

OK, that seems to have worked. Thank you!
