autocomplete cache should not reset for every use

J

Jason

In the previous version of Outlook I used, the autocomplete function would
work for names / email addresses I had used in previous days (in previous
Outlook sessions). With Outlook 2003, every time I open Outlook, the
autocomplete works only for names and addresses I use in that same session.
As such, the same people I email on a daily basis used to allow me to use the
autocomplete function for my first email of the day to them, whereas Outlook
2003 does not allow me to do so until I have emailed these contacts during
the current Outlook session. For my purposes, this is less efficient.

Outlook 2003 does this as well. Sounds like there is a corruption in your
mail profile. To recreate see;

This isn't something unique to my use of Outlook. I spoken to others at work
who have also confirmed that they lost this ability with the upgrage to
Outlook 2003 from the previous version we used. Is it possible all of our
profiles were immediately corrupted at commencement of the 2003 upgrade?

Also, I went through Help on Outlook 2003 to the training located at
http://office.microsoft.com/trainin...ID=RP010515491033&CTT=6&Origin=RC010515461033
and I did not see any mention of being able to have the autocomplete function
span multiple sessions of Outlook. There was some mention of a new .N2K file
being created with each use of Outlook.

Yep, quite possible that the upgrade caused it. Even very likely when this
was done from Outlook 2000. After an upgrade it is recommended (by us MVPs)
to recreate your mail profile.

I can assure you that the cache should last longer than just an Outlook
session.

Depends on how the upgrade was done, but it's conceivable, yes.
