TB! seems to be fetching addresses from the AB based on which characters have been types so far. I see that if I type the letters "li", TB! brings up *any* AB address which contains the letter combination "li" anywhere in the address. If I continue typing letters as in "lis" then only those addresses which contain those three letters, in that order, anywhere in the address will continue to appear. Names with *only* the "li" combination have dropped from the list. As I said, interesting but of little help to you. Based on what I have seen now I doubt you will be able to delete any of the addresses appearing without deleting them from the AB as was stated in an earlier reply. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

One final piece of the puzzle is have you figured out which entry of the auto-complete list is selected and copied to the To: address? For me it is always the same one but not the first one in the list, not by name, not by address. No pattern I can see. Try backspacing over your typing and type the same again - I get a different item selected each time and sometimes no item. -- Best regards, Tonymailto:t...@parkinch.co.uk The Bat! 5.3.8.4 (BETA) Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The drop-down list (menu, as you call it) that appears when you start typing is a list that is built on the fly with addresses from Address Book, or To history or both, that match the characters that you have typed so far. You can see that it is built on the fly if, once it appears, you type one or more characters. So, as the shown list as such does not exist in any file (like the To history does) you cannot delete from it. If you want to delete one or more addresses, you will have to do so from the AB or the To history. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

That does work if you're in the double-arrow dropdown list, but it does not work on the dropdown menu that appears when you start typing in the field, which I think is what everyone is referring to when they are asking this question. -- Sam Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

This doesn't work for me. Once you get the drop-down, use the down arrow key to 'enter' the list and then use the up or down arrow keys to scroll through it. When you get to the address you want to delete, just hit Delete. This has always worked here. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
