Default DEFAULTING TO PHANTOM DL?

2003/Vista

I am on a network. I used to have a DL in my contacts folder named ICA that
I deleted from my computer. However, I have access to another co-worker's
contacts from which I access a DL with the same name (ICA). When I bring up
a
new email and type "I" in the To box, I hit tab and ICA autofills into the
To box. It appears that Outlook is recognizing her DL. But I receive a
failure notice when I send the email, however, indicating that the DL is not
recognized. My suspicion is Outlook is trying to connect it to the DL with
the same name that I deleted from my contacts folder. When I right click the
ICA DL in my coworkers contacts folder and select New Message, there is never
a problem sending the message. Explanations/Suggestions?

Default DEFAULTING TO PHANTOM DL?

next time it comes up press the delete key - the name is cached in your
autocomplete list but can't resolve because its deleted from your contacts.
