MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2004Outlook 2003 Finds Duplicate Nmaes
When I enter the address in a new e-mail message Outlook 2003 obligingly auto-completes the name. However, it sometimes comes up with more than one instance of the name (with a different e-mail address in each case). There is only one instance of the name in 'Contacts', where does the other one come from? Outlook Express's address book? Or another copy of 'Contacts'? Somewhere else? Many thanks. The autocompletion cache. 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. To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q287623  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > When I enter the address in a new e-mail message Outlook 2003 obligingly > auto-completes the name.

Here's another instance of what I think is the same problem: 1) Use the "Rules Wizard" to try and "flag a message from someone with a colored flag" 2) When I click the "people or dist. list" link a dialog pops up that says (paraphasing for bevity) "...Address book could not be displayed...The contacts folder associated with the address book could not be displayed.." 3) Then a dialog named "rule address" pops up. This has a "Show names from the:" drop down box which contains these entries (my comments on what happens when the entry is selected shown in brackets, below): "Outlook Address Book" (which is empty - why?) Contacts (this one pops up the same dialog seen in (2) above) Contacts (this copy is populated) Contacts (this copy is populated as well) Outlook appears to have two address books (inherited from my import from OE6?), both in the wrong place! I would like just one, and in "Outlook Address Book". Ideas appreciated. Thanks. > Then describe more completely and accurately what you are doing and so > that we can tell whether you are using autocompletion or autoresolution.

The problem is that Outlook thinks that I have three sets of "Contacts"!

Remove the Service. Restart Outlook. Re-add the Service and direct it to display the Contacts Folder you want to use.
