Default Why is my autoresolve no longer immediate?

To answer your questions, in reverse order.

Providing your Outlook version is BASIC to troubleshooting. Each version
has solutions that apply only to that option. Without this information,
even guessing is a problem.

Also, the environment is important - Exchange (version?) vs. IMAP vs. POP
vs. HTTP. Each has quirks that exist only for that protocol.

Who are "Us" - that means the regular folks who post here on a daily or
regular basis. Many MVPs, other Outlook experts, and other users of the
forum who see a problem they can answer (how I started).

As for your problem, have you run detect and repair from any Office
Help-About file. Have you run scanpst.exe against your .pst file if you
are using one?

After furious head scratching, D Schroer asked:

| I thought I gave sufficient information, but let me elaborate. I
| have Office 2003 and am using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
| (11.6268.6568) SP2 in an Exchang server environment with Windows XP
| OS. I like to enter events and/or appointments to my calendar, and
| then use the scheduling tab to invite others from the global
| template. Up until a few weeks ago, I was able to type in the first
| few letters of a name, and when I tabbed off, the name would
| autoresolve in a matter of a second or two and the full name would
| populate in the "All attendees" column. Unless of course there was
| more than one name starting with those letters in the global
| template. The autofill feature in the To: line of any e-mail works
| fine, and if I use the check names icon or type control K, then the
| name will autoresolve. However, it is no longer immediate when I tab
| off. All 21 of our business PCs worked this way, except for two,
| which stopped autoresolving a few weeks ago. One resolved itself and
| now works over the last week, but mine is still not working this way.
|
| Does this give you enough information, Millie, to comment? If not,
| perhaps you could help me to understand why my post prevents you to
| even guess. I'm curious too, who are "us?" Perhaps I'm ignorant. I
| thought responses to forums like this were by many people in
| different locations. If you're speaking for the group, does that
| mean the responses to this forum are from a familiar group - at
| Microsoft, I assume? Please forgive my stupidity. I'm learning
| about wonderful cyber based support forums such as this.
