Stop Search Command for Address Book Search

[Don Ashlock]

Make a typo when serching your Find a Contact field to search your address
book and you have to sit and wait as it seems forever. It would be nice to be
able to interupt the search and start over much like Internet Explorer allows
you to stop an internet search.

My version allows this - why doesn't yours? Oh, that's right, you decided to keep that little tidbit a secret. I am sure that Microsoft will take your "suggestion" to heart.

Ok, Milly… I wish I was keeping it a secret. Both in the MS Outlook Address
Book Contact Search field in my tool bar or by opening the search bar in my
contact folders, I get the same response. Start a search and there is no way
to stop it. My reference to Internet Explorer was a reference to how I
wished it would work in Outlook. Are you saying you can stop your search in
Outlook? If so where am I missing it or is it that I have not sprung for a
newer version since I am still using 03?

Thanks for responding.

Outlook 2007 - that is one major reason to always post your version when making a suggestion or asking a question. What works in my version does not work in yours apparently (have not used 2003 for many months and the memory goes quicker as we all get older.)
