Default My addresses won't autofill

Did you search within hidden folders when looking for the .NK2 file? It will
be in a hidden folder. It will only exist if at least one autocomplete entry
has been saved.

I have Outlook 2003. It will autofill for one day, for instance if I send
the same person 2 emails in 1 day, it AutoCompletess the second email. But
then the next day it doesn't remember the email addresses. In reading about
the problem on the Microsoft help pages it said to search for the .NK2 file.
I did a search on my computer and do not have that file. Is there a way to
get it? Is that indeed the problem?

Thanks!

What version of Outlook? If it's Outlook 2000 or earlier, you won't have an
AutoComplete function. In Outlook 2002 and later, AutoComplete works against
e-mail addresses you have typed into a new message, not against your
contacts. Type an e-mail address into a new message and send the message,
then next time you start typing the address, you should get the AutoComplete
suggestion.

In Outlook. I think it's because I don't have the .NK2 file on my computer.
How can I get it?

Thanks!
