How to correct discrepancies in Outlook Select Names and Contacts.
Outlook 2002 has a problem with Select Names matching Contact list. A deleted
or incorrect name still appears in Select Names even after it has been deleted from Contacts. How do I update Select Names to remove unwanted Names please. Thanks |

This is not a known "Outlook problem."
This is more likely an end user problem. This is only seen if you are deleting the information form a Contacts Folder that is different than the one you are displaying in the Outlook Address Book. Examine the configuration of your Contacts Folders and the Outlook Address Book. It is also seen if you are referring to the autocompletion cache instead of the Outlook Address Book. Your term "Select Names" is unclear. Clarify what you mean. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ian Hatton" Ian wrote in message ... Outlook 2002 has a problem with Select Names matching Contact list.

Thanks Russ and apologies for my lack of correct terminology. In simple
terms, when you open a new message and enter the first 3 letters a window expands to show you the options from your Contact list. My problem is that some names in this window have been either deleted from the Contact list, or include a spelling mistake when they were set up and therefore are not valid addresses. I just want to find a way of deleting the obsolete or incorrect 'options' so only valid Contact names appear. Hope that explains it better.

No wonder. That's a different function entirely from the one you posted.
"Select Names" is an Outlook Address Book function. You are talking about autocompletion, which has nothing to do with your Outlook Address Book. 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. If your autocomplete list contains only a single entry, use the directions he http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;289975 To clear the entire cache, follow the instructions he http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q287623 -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ian Hatton" wrote in message ...
