This may seem trivial, but it is somewhat annoying so I wanted to see if
anyone had a solution or whether I just had to "deal" with it....

When I go to type someone's name in the "To:" field of an email the normal
autocompletion list populates, however, although the person I write the
emails to the most is at the top of that list, it highlights a different
name so I have to scroll to the top of the list to select the person I email
the most. Why does it not start with the top of the list. It just started
doing this for some reason. The only thing I can think of is that the person
at the top of the list is in my contacts folder while the one automatically
highlighted before I have to scroll back up is in the GAL. Any clues???

Thanks!

Hi RGA,

all information I have about the autocomplete function are this sites:

Maybe it helps.

Odd. I've never seen any installation of Outlook do this before. Don't
suppose you can provide any steps to repro the behavior?
