random missing contacts in "To" drop down list
Certain contacts do not show up in the drop down list. I added a new contact
and it didn't have a problem, but certain existing contacts won't show.

Presumably you are talking about the Addressbook view of your contacts when you click on the "to" button in a New Mail Window? Only contacts that have a valid electronic address (either email or fax) will appear in that view.

I have had the same computer for 4 years and this is the first time I have had this problem. Specifically with addresses that have worked correctly before.

random missing contacts in "To" drop down list
Any Contact with a valid electronic address will appear in the address book
view. Accordingly any Contact that is not appearing either has no valid address or does not reside in the folder you are viewing. Only you can figure out which it is or what might have corrupted the electronic addresses of the Contacts that don't appear. If you recreate such a Contact I bet it shows, doesn't it? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "bharaty" wrote in message ... "Gordon" wrote: "bharaty" wrote in message ...

If you're speaking of the autocompletion cache (the list of names that pops up when you start typing), that list has no connection with your Contacts in any way whatsoever. It is simply a memory of the addresses to which you've sent mail in the past, whether or not those addresses are contact addresses. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
