Auto type
 
Until today, when I started an email to my daughter...I only had to type
either the first three letters of her name or email address and it would
auto fill
it in for me.
No longer does it for her..does for everyone else.

Outlook 2002
Win XP

I redid her contact twice...did not help.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Autocompletion is a fragile feature that is poorly implemented and not
intended to be either reliable or robust. There's no way to tell why yours
stopped working from the meager details you've provided, but the behavior is
common.

Thanks. I could not think of any other
details to include.

Well recreating the Contact would accomplish nothing since autocompletion
has nothing to do with Contacts.
Sending another message to her would repopulate the cache, unless its
corrupted.
