Suggest Name Now Not Working

[Karl Burrows]

All of a sudden the suggest name option no longer works in Outlook 2003.
Any way to repair this or fix it? If not and I have to create a new
profile, what's the best way to do it and keep all my customizations, email
accounts, etc. intact?

Thanks!

Try shutting down Outlook and renaming the .nk2 file associated with your
profile. Outlook should start building a new one for you when you send more
messages.

Any other thoughts? I renamed the file (easy enough to do) and have run
Outlook all day today sending out emails about the wonderful XPSP2 patch to
my customers. It created a new .nk2 file, but it never rebuilt the suggest
name properties.

Thanks as always!

Did you check your setting in Tools | Options | E-mail Options | Advanced
E-mail Options | Suggest names ...

My bad, it's the automatic name checking I use, not the suggest name. I
get confused between the two. Name checking is the one you get the red or
green underline squiggle to right-click and complete the email address.

It's been a long week!

PS Just got your Outlook Programming book.

For name resolution problems, choose Tools | Address Book, then Tools |
Options. That will show you what lists Outlook 2002/3 is using for name
resolution.

Enjoy the book! All the sample code is available on the site listed in my
