Default Check for Multiple Instances of a Contact

"Lynn" wrote in message
...

Some of my contacts appear in the GAL as well as in my own Contact folders
(with a different email address). When I Check Name, I would like Outlook
to
let me know that there are multiple addresses for that person & give me the
option to pick the one I want to use. Is this possible? How?


Not possible. Outlook's Check Names function is fairly unintelligent. It
will scan the folders you've enabled as address books in the order you specify
and then resolve against the first occurrence of the name you've entered.
Once it resolves the name, it stops looking.
