Auto complete does not work...?
Hi,
I have read several posts here about "auto complete" and now I understand it only works when I have actually sent a message to someone, and that it has nothing to do with Contacts. My problem arises when I exit Outlook and reopen it: the auto complete does not kick in. When I try to type the first few letters of a name to whom I have indeed sent numerous messages (perhaps only minutes ago )), I get no name suggestions at all. Does the function only work per session so to speak? It does work if I don't exit. I have checked all boxes on name suggestions etc in Tools, etc. I don't know if this is valid info, but on opening Outlook I get a window about "Microsoft LDAP" etc and am asked to give a password. I have been recommended by our IT consultant to click Cancel on this. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions - what am I missing here? I have Outloook 2003. Thanks! |

Does the function only work per session so to speak? It does work if I don't exit. I have checked all boxes on name suggestions etc in Tools, etc. This is a symptom of a broken mail profile. Creating a new mail profile usually repairs it. See http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm for information on creating a new mail profile. Once it has been created and BEFORE you open Outlook, you can rename the NK2 file to match the name of the new mail profile and it should work. I don't know if this is valid info, but on opening Outlook I get a window about "Microsoft LDAP" etc and am asked to give a password. I have been recommended by our IT consultant to click Cancel on this. It's unrelated to the autocompletion issue. If you do not use an LDAP server, you can remove it from your mail profile (ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change existing directories or address booksNext) or, when you create your new profile, just don't add an LDAP server reference. -- Brian Tillman |
