The original poster's question related not to the autocomplete list but to the dialog that appears when the user invokes Check Names. The autocomplete list stored in the .nk2 file is *not* used in name resolution, only for autocomplete.

Hi,

Outlook maintains a nickname list that is used by both the automatic name
checking and the automatic completion features. The nickname list is
automatically generated while you use Outlook. If the nickname cache is
corrupted, Outlook may not be able to identify recipients, may offer
incorrect recipients when automatically completing the e-mail address, or may
send the message to the wrong person.

Can you explain the logic that is hard-coded so I can explain to the user WHY
it only returns a certain number of results?
