auto complete

**Petrellz** · April 23rd 06, 03:20 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

I can not get auto complete to work in outlook, I have the option turned on.
Also, even if I have the contact in my address book it still will not
recognize or find it. Is this a problem with my software or am I missing
something?

You're missing something.
You don't understand how autocomplete works.
It has nothing to do with your Contacts. It uses a cache of names from
messages you have previously sent. Your cache is empty if you just turned
the option on.
Also, you did not post your Outlook version so we don't know for sure
whether your version supports the option. Which "option" did you turn on?
