SYMPTOMS
When you try to check a message recipient's name in the Global Address List (GAL), by either clicking the Check Names button or using the ALT+K keystroke, the following error may be displayed:

STOP: Some names could not be matched to names in the address list because they were too ambiguous. Try making the names more specific or choose Address to select names from the address list. Successfully matched names are underlined.



CAUSE
The error occurs when the GAL contains more than 500 names matching the query.



RESOLUTION
CheckName has a limit of 500 names. The search criteria should be made more specific so the search returns fewer than 500 names.
