I have an entry in my address book for Steve Mayer

To send an email to Steve, I used to enter just an S in the TO: field and it
would bring up Steve and his email address.

Steve forwarded an email to me from someone that used a nickname of Maier
with his email address.

Now, when I want to send an email to Steve, I enter an S and Outlook brings
up the nickname followed by the email address. i.e. Maier
)

I have searched high and low to find the Maier entry, but cannot find it in
my contact list. The help text says it might be in another address list but
I have not been able to find it anywhere.

Where is this coming from???

Thanks

You, like many people every day here, are confusing the Autocompletion cache
with Contacts. The N2K file is the autocompletion cache - it holds recently
used names. It is nothing to do with Contacts or a Global Address List or
anything else in Outlook.

To remove a name from it, type in the To... field until the name shows, then
use your down arrow to highlight it and the delete button to remove it.
Keep away from your mouse!

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!
