>> Naidunia11

>Upendra,
>We had a similar problem with Outlook, where the address book contained similar names (i.e., Jill, Jillian, Jill23, Jill233, etc...). I don't know exactly where I found this solution, but it seems that Microsoft's way of handling these resolves is akin to Foxpro's SET EXACT OFF. I believe that prepending a plus (+) in front of the name before you resolve it may have the effect of setting EXACT ON. Try it (on a small scale) and let me know. Hopefully, there's someone with more experience on this that could be of better help?
>Good luck!
Upendra,

I hope this one gets to you before you try my (+) suggestion. My memory proved a bit faulty: You should prepend an equals (=) sign rather than a plus (+). Sorry for the confusion.
