Re: Outlook, How to get old contact address out of memory

One more thing to be mindful of.  Creating two distinct entries in the 
address book contact list isn't the only way someone can record more than 
one address for a particular contact.  You can also enter two or more 
addresses right in the properties function of that person's listing.  It's 
on the name tab of the properties functions.

On the person's listing in your address book, press enter.  Now control tab 
to the tab (or page, if you will) called the name tab.

Using the tab key, move through the fields for first, middle and last name, 
nickname, job title, and how the listing should appear on the list.

Eventually you come to the field where you'd enter a new address, and then 
you come to a listing of the addresses that are recorded for that contact. 
You can add more than one by typing it in the previously mentioned field, to 
which you would return with shift tab.  But if there's more than one address 
in this list and you want to edit or even delete one of them, there are 
buttons that say Edit and Delete which permit you to do that.  You can also 
change which address in the list is to be the default one that comes up 
automatically when you type the contact's name in the To line of a new 
message's header.  There is a button for this, also.

This is worth exploring, just to understand that entering or deleting 
multiple entries in the address book list isn't the only way a contact can 
be given more than one address, for better or worse, and can be deleted, 
too..
Hope this is helpful.

Do you go into your address book with with control-shift-b?  Do this, look
for the name of the person whose address is in question and delete the
address you no longer want.  This should work and outlook will no longer
bring up two addresses when you want to send that person a message.  Judith
