I'm running Outlook 2000 on Windows 2000. It's using IMAP/LDAP for
email/address books.

When I in part of the name of an individual that is in my Contacts, it
autocompletes it with a completely different entry which I can't find
anywhere else. e.g. lets say I type 'David Smi' and I have 'David Smith'
in my address book, for some reason it finds another entry along the
lines of 'djones', the entry is underline in a broken green underline,
right clicking on it gives 'djones' then a separation line, then 'David
Smith' as an option. If I hit the 'To' button to bring up a list of
contact/addresses then the 'djones' entry shows up with a blue card icon
instead of the white coloured one I see next to every other address.

I have sent and recieved mails with 'djones' but can find no evidence of
them in the address books or contacts. If I use the surname first then
all works fine but any clues as to where the address is coming from and
how to get rid of it?

Managed to sort this with the Nicknames utility mentioned in a recent
article, all ok now.

Thansk to whomever pointed the MS KB link!
