Thanks. Taking another look I found a space before all the names I
imported. Not sure why there's a space in the Vcards that were created
by csv2vcard, because there are not any in my csv file. I just did a
search and replace on the vcard file and reimported. Now autocompletion
works great.

As far as the LDAP server goes, I don't know if there's a limit on the
server side, but there might be. A long time ago, at least a couple
years now, I used Outlook as an IMAP client and used to look up names in
LDAP without any problems. Being so long ago, servers change, LDAP
settings change, etc. So maybe something is different on the server
side. I don't have Outlook even installed anywhere to play with it. 

Thanks for the help. I'm good for now. Occasional update of my local
address book is required, but it's a acceptable solution to me. 

Thanks again,
James
