Outlook 2002 contacts/auto-complete problem

[Radgam]

I've been having problems with auto complete not working properly for one specific person in my contacts recently.

Basically, their name/email address never appears on drop down nor auto-completes when you type the first few letters of their name into the "TO:" section of the email form.

Also, if i reply to that persons message the "TO:" is auto completed with their email address, rather than the contact name (as it does for my other contacts) i have their email addy listed under

Any ideas? I've tried deleting their name from the address book, and re adding it manually amoungst other things.

Thanks

when you remove/add the contact, do you reboot in between? and in the address book, do you have their contact name listed in it's proper place?

It's in the proper place in the address book, but i don't reboot between adding the contact so i'll try that

Well, i definitly think it's an M$ bug. Sign up at lycos mail and send yourself an email from it. Notice the name isn't automatically detected when you hit reply even though it was given in the email?

I reported it but they ignored me.. there's a surprise
The auto-complete thing, it's just kinda weird. I think you need to send that person or reply to one of their emails, then it start's listing them

I think i really liked OE better, and it doesn't even suffer from the mentioned problems!
