correct, although i don't know why it's only pulling the one value, 
and from login at that...

i'd venture to guess that shortly after installing IE, you accidentally 
typed your userid into the search (or you intended to search on 
your userid), and perhaps after that you disabled the autocomplete 
ability to log entries...?

by the way, you can call certain values in form fields with an IE-
specific attribute(s):

VCARD_NAME="vCard.FirstName"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.LastName"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Company"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Home.StreetAddress"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Home.City"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Home.State"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Home.Zipcode"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Home.Country"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Home.Phone"
VCARD_NAME="vCard.Email"

you can get more info at the MS site...
