I have Outlook 2003 and Windows XP. When I type part of an address into a
new message, I get a selection of autocompleted nicknames as I type. If I
select from that list, I sometimes get the nickname + e-mail address. For
example, if I address a message to Dave Jones, I get "Dave Jones
)" in the address line, instead of just the
nickname. I have always entered contact information in the "Display as:"
field with the nickname only. I do not want people's e-mail addresses to be
listed in the address field.

I can occasionally force Outlook to use the nickname only, if I delete the
contact and then make a new contact with the same information. Once I send
a new e-mail message to that recipient, the next message using autocomplete
typically shows the nickname only. However, that fix doesn't hold for long,
and the e-mail address starts popping up in autocomplete selections again.

I browsed to the Nickname and AutoComplete cache and renamed it from
Outlook.NK2 to Outlook.old. That did rebuild the cache; but, the
autocomplete problem returned. Can you provide a fix for this issue? If
not, can you provide a better description of it, so I can search for
solutions on the Internet?

Why do you care how the To/Cc/Bcc fields look like regarding whether just a
name or name+address is shown? You don't get to dictate how it will appear
at the recipient's end, anyway. That YOU see just the name doesn't dictate
that the recipient will also see only the name. The recipient may still see
name+address in the To/Cc field shown in THEIR e-mail client.
