I'm trying to help a friend delete from his laptop an incorrect address
in Outlook 2002, a program I've never used. How is this done? I
learned from MS that there is no single address book, I tried MS's
suggestions in article 307730 - "HOW TO: Add and Remove Names in Your
Address Book in Windows XP" (open address book and delete the record,
e.g.; but the record is not there) and I tried a text search for the
addressee, all in vain.

Where else could I look to find this address? This person uses a Palm
and synchronized his address book but nothing shows up in the Palm
program area either.

Win XP Pro, SP 2.

tools then address book?

From Outlook 2002, select contacts, highlight the contact, either delete it
or change the properties to correct error.

The name with the incorrect address is not listed in the address book.

The record does not show up in contacts.

Having a hard time understanding. Where and when does the incorrect address
present a problem? If it is not in adbook or contacts, does it come up when
they reply to the person? Most likely the case then would be is that the
reply address is munged, either by intent or flaw from the sender.

The incorrect address pops up as a first choice as Outlook tries to
complete the information entered in the "To" window.

Sometime ago he created the record with an incorrect email address and
has not been able to remove it. He can't recall how or where or in
which program he made that mistake.

And in the dropdown list, I assume there is the correct address?

Yes. And that one shows in Address book, but not Contacts.

Another question, is this when composing a new mail from scratch? Is it an
auto-complete trying to finish typing? Then maybe clearing the
auto-complete forms in Control Panel/Internet Options/Content/Auto
Complete>Clear Forms might help.
