Thanks Brian. That worked for gettting my autofill for email addresses back
in. Small thing but frustrating when you are used to it. I had set up a
different email address to come into my outlook and then the rules had it
going to certain folders once they came in. That was the such - setting up
the additional email address but that is a small thing I can redo if I must.
Thanks again!
