You are so right. Not quyite awake this morning. In the meantime, I
followed the Outlook Support itm relating to finding the .nk2 file, changing
its name to .bak extension and then restsarting Outlook. Did thast but that
forces a ewdo of all the nickname autocompletes. So I went back, found the
Outlook.bak file and changed it to Outlook.nk2 and restarted Outlook. Did
not revert to the old nk2 file. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks ofr your assistance on the first issue. Unfortunately, I found that
out right after I sent the first posting. I'm not quiter the newbie that
probelm inferred.

Reread the posts. Nowhere will you see "R click" or "Tab."
Use the arrow key to select the entry. Hit Delete.
If you want to change the Email Display As field for your contacts, just
edit that field. You will not be hiding the email address, however.

I have read the various posts about cleaning up my email address lists to
get
rid of errouneous and old email addresses. My probelm is that when I get
the
auto-complete listing showin gthe erroneous addresses, nothing happens
when I
right click them or tab to them and try to delete them. Also, may be part
of
the same problem but I try not to show the persons name and email address
in
the TO: address box. But many of them still show the address as well as
the
nickname. How do I stop that (I make sure that the Display As: box in
Contact details has only the nickname).

Thanks for any help.
