auto complete name order
I have to type names in first last order in order for auto complete to find
them. How do I change it so I can type last name, first name and have auto complete work? I already have file as set to last, first but that doesn't seem to affect it.

You can't change how autocomplete works. Best simply to figure it out and
use it the way it works: http://www.ingressor.com/autocompletetips.htm -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Martin" wrote in message ...

auto complete name order
At work auto complete works with the last name. So obviously it can work
that way. But I don't know how to make it work that way here at home. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You can't change how autocomplete works.

If you read the algorithm I posted, you can figure out what's going on.

OK so auto complete doesn't use the contacts folder but the NK2 file. How
does the data get into the NK2 file. Presumably if I can change the format of the data before it goes in that would fix the problem.

All explained in that article: the letter you type must exist as the first
letter of either the name or the alias for autocompletion to find it in the cache. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Martin" wrote in message ...
