Hi all,

One of my clients has an SBS 2003 R2 network. All PC's have no problem,
except the bosses (typical!). He has a laptop at the office (XP Pro, SP2) and
uses a PC at his home (Vista, no SP) to connect to their Exchange 2003 server
(PC at home uses RPC over HTTP). Both laptop and home PC have Outlook 2007
installed. For some time now, the auto complete feature is proving to be
inconsistent, ie, one minute you can start typing a contact name and a list
of possible entries is displayed, the next minute, typing the same name or
anything else doesn't offer any contact suggestions at all. Both
installations have Office 2007 SP1 installed. Anyone have any ideas on how I
can get round this ? Many thanks in advance.

Regards Colin.

This feature has always been inconsistent and apparently always will be.
Creating a new profile usually gets it working again as expected.

Hi Russ,

Thanks for the reply. That's not good news - this sort of thing always
happens to the guy who has 'got to have it working' :(

Regards Colin.

Creating a new profile is not difficult, and for some reason the problem
rarely comes back.

Hi Russ,

I've created new profiles for standalone Outlook accounts but not for
Exchange on SBS. Can you point me in the right direction please ?

Regards Colin.

I know that I can go to the address book
and look up a person's name to find out their
actual email address, but is there any Outlook Express
option or preference that let's me specify that
I want to see the actual address and not just
the name in the to: or From: or cc: etc fields
of the email?

Thanks for your help.
