Outlook Web Access / Autofill?

I have several employees who rely on autofill, but it doesn't work on the web
access. Is there a solution?

nope, because you could be using a different PC each time you connect to
OWA.

it's no different than if the user goes to a different PC within the network
and logs on to use Outlook -- it won't remember your autofill from one pc to
the next.

Since OWA is SSL Autocomplete won't work.
(or do you mind anyone who has access to your PC able to login to your Bank
account?)

There are probably some third party tools but they may stop autocomplete
also.

What exactly do they need autocomplete for?
(A particular field?)

Russ, generally my users have gotten use to 'autofill' in outlook for
entering the names of people they want to send an email to. And you don't
have that with OWA.

for reasons like that, I generally recommend to my users to use OWA as a
quick way of looking to see if any new email has come in, and replying to
those emails. But if they have to create new emails, and want to be able to
select users from public folder contact lists, etc. -- I tell them to either
use Outlook over RPC or connect up to a Term Server (if they have one) and
use Outlook from there.

I know??? or I'm confused. (Which is more often the case. sometimes)

My Point was AutoComplete won't work on some SSL Sites for obvious reasons.
(Some Fields)

Because if you put in your bank account ID and login on your Secure Bank
website
any person who access your PC could login to your bank account just using
autocomplete...

I don't know what Fields they want to complete, but address fields will auto
complete with names in your directory..
(Maybe they are talking outside emails?)

most users get used to autofill on their own computer, and then wonder why
it doesn't remember the same names when they use a different computer.

I should have clarified the intent was for e-mail addresses. Yes, I am aware
of the windows explorer auto-fill feature which by policy, is disabled. Since
Outlook appears to run independently from this, I was curious if it was
stored elsewhere and accessible. I guess I agree Kevin, OWA seems to be for
the quick dunk. They will need to connect to the server here to get any real
work done. Thanks for your replies.
