Robert,

I'm not certain that this is a fix that you are looking for, but we have a
utility that will enable you to export contacts from your autocomplete
file,
providing you with the ability to import them into a contact folder. And,
we are working on an import utility so that you can import contact name
and
e-mail info. from your contact folders into your autocomplete cache.

If you're interested in more information about the utility, you can go to

Hi there. I am trying to get Outlook to automatically fill in the email
address of contacts that match the text I am typing into the "To:" box on
a
new email, but it is only recognizing addresses I have already sent to.
Is
there any way Outlook will start searching intelligently on what I am
typing
from my address books (without requiring me to have already sent them an
email)?

I have also tried typing in the first couple of letters of a name or
email
address and pressed CTRL + K, but Outlook only seems to want to search
the
Global Address List. It seems that if Outlook can't find any matches in
the
GAL, *then* it looks in the other address books I have (the main one
being
a
public address book used by the the whole company). If it does find
matches
in the GAL, it doesn't bother looking in the other address books. This
isn't
much use really. Again, is there any way to make it do this?

Thanks in advance for your help and time!
