Is it possible that neither column at the top was selected? Or maybe Email address? If you click Name column, does that speed things up?

The Autofill feature of the Address fields is so good, I've never found the need to use the mini-Address Book - just type 3 or 4 characters of first or last name, and there you are. > And is 2,500+ an overly large Entourage DB by general > standards? No. There's no limit to the size it can handle, and I've heard of several Address Books with more than 5000 entries. But it will affect performance in certain areas, like this one. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
