Where is the list for auto name checking located? When
typing in the To field, 2 contacts pop up in the window.
Both named Teresa, but only one has a contact in the
contact list. The other is just a random e-mail that was
sent. Somehow Outlook recognizes her name and tries to
auto complete. Does anyone know how to access this list?

By reading the other posts in this newsgroup, which I
should have done first, I was able to solve my problem.
Just open an email and begin typing the address in the To:
field. When both addresses pop up just mouse over the one
you want to delete and hit delete.

It's stored in a file with the extension of .NK2. You can't edit the file
directly, but as you type in Teresa and you see both addresses, arrow down
to the incorrect one and hit the delete key on the keyboard.
