Auto Complete Inconsistency
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.

Auto Complete Inconsistency
This feature has always been inconsistent and apparently always will be.
Creating a new profile usually gets it working again as expected. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Colin" wrote in message ... Hi all, One of my clients has an SBS 2003 R2 network.

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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Colin" wrote in message ... Hi Russ, Thanks for the reply.

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.
