Why is my autoresolve no longer immediate?

When in the Outlook scheduling tab of a new event or appointing, I used to be
able to type a name, or even just the first few letters, and the name
resolves a few seconds after I tab out of the field. This no longer works. I
can use the check name ikon or type control K and that will work. Why is it
no longer immediate?

Don't know - you provided no information that would allow us to even guess.

I thought I gave sufficient information, but let me elaborate. I have Office
2003 and am using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (11.6268.6568) SP2 in an
Exchang server environment with Windows XP OS. I like to enter events and/or
appointments to my calendar, and then use the scheduling tab to invite others
from the global template. Up until a few weeks ago, I was able to type in
the first few letters of a name, and when I tabbed off, the name would
autoresolve in a matter of a second or two and the full name would populate
in the "All attendees" column. Unless of course there was more than one name
starting with those letters in the global template. The autofill feature in
the To: line of any e-mail works fine, and if I use the check names icon or
type control K, then the name will autoresolve. However, it is no longer
immediate when I tab off. All 21 of our business PCs worked this way, except
for two, which stopped autoresolving a few weeks ago. One resolved itself
and now works over the last week, but mine is still not working this way.

Does this give you enough information, Millie, to comment? If not, perhaps
you could help me to understand why my post prevents you to even guess. I'm
curious too, who are "us?" Perhaps I'm ignorant. I thought responses to
forums like this were by many people in different locations. If you're
speaking for the group, does that mean the responses to this forum are from a
familiar group - at Microsoft, I assume? Please forgive my stupidity. I'm
learning about wonderful cyber based support forums such as this.

To answer your questions, in reverse order.

Providing your Outlook version is BASIC to troubleshooting. Each version
has solutions that apply only to that option. Without this information,
even guessing is a problem.

Also, the environment is important - Exchange (version?) vs. IMAP vs. POP
vs. HTTP. Each has quirks that exist only for that protocol.

Who are "Us" - that means the regular folks who post here on a daily or
regular basis. Many MVPs, other Outlook experts, and other users of the
forum who see a problem they can answer (how I started).

As for your problem, have you run detect and repair from any Office
Help->About file. Have you run scanpst.exe against your .pst file if you
are using one?
