Auto-complete is remembering a bad email address I once entered and is
offering that as the sole choice until I enter almost the entire address.
To make up an example, the bad auto-complete entry is like
instead of .

(Please don't suggest relying on auto-resolve instead! I'm not using an
address book and auto-resolve at the moment because I want to figure out how
to share a single address book between Corel WordPerfect and Outlook
Express.)

I have not been able to figure out how to fix that. OE doesn't seem to rely
on the Registry for auto-complete, and doesn't seem to use an .NK2 cache
file like Outlook. Anyone know how OE auto-completes addresses (or simply
how I can fix this)?

Hi John,

This auto-complete you are referring to, is it when entering information in
the "To:", "Cc:" or "Bcc:" of an email message?

On my Outlook Express 6, and I have put a check mark in Options under the
Send tab to "Automatically complete e-mail addresses when composing",
retrieves it's information from the address book.

To be safe, open your current Address Book and File | Export | Address Book
(wab) and send a copy to My Documents should a backup be needed.

With OE closed, do a search for *.wab and include Hidden Files and Folders.
You will find a few. Open each one in the search results and you should find
one, or more, that contains the bad address. Delete the address there, or
if you are confident that it is an address book that you are definitely not
using, you can delete the entire book.

Shut down the computer and then reboot. (Don't select Restart). See if that
helps.

Hi John,

As to your statement: "I want to figure out how to share a single address
book between Corel WordPerfect and Outlook
Express".

You might try posting a query about your statement in this newsgroup. I do
not have
WordPerfect, but do know that some others who monitor this newsgroup do,
perhaps they can suggest how they handle the address book situation.

I use the Windows Address Book as my primary.

Thanks, Ken and Bruce.

Though it is logical, I was surprised to learn that OE uses the WAB for
auto-completion. I thought it did a look-up in the WAB only for
auto-resolution.

I was also surprised to find that I had a bad entry in my address book.

As they say, life is full of surprises!

Hi John,

Your reply confirms how I thought OE auto-complete functioned.

Thanks,

I want to figure out how to share a single address book between Corel
WordPerfect and Outlook Express.

Hi John,

As I said before I use Windows Address Book as my primary.

I use Open Office http://www.openoffice.org/ , and have it set to use the
Windows Address Book, perhaps WordPerfect has a similar setting.

If not, no matter which address book you use as your primary, either can be
shared using Import/Export.
