Contact issue

I have a rather complicated upgrade history. I went from using Outlook
express to outlook2003 to outlook2007 within the last 2 months.

All I needed to dod before to get an e-mail address to autopopulate was
start entering the name from my contac menu. For some reason some of them are
autopropogating as expected and others are not. I have checked the ones that
do and the ones that dont and there is no logistical difference between them.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any trick to making it work.

Thanks,

Joe

Autocompletion (when Outlook remembers recently used names) has nothing to
do with your Contacts folder. If you send an email to
fred.bloggs@acme.gov.au by typing that in the To.. field, Outlook will
remember Fred forever - and he is NOT in your Contacts. So you old version
had lots of names in "memory". In 2007, you haven't used every name yet!

There are daily posts here from Russ Valentine describing the difference
between the various places Outlook stores email addresses.
