Default Outlook Autofill Feature

When a user starts to type an e-mail address or contact in the "To" field
Outlook will auto-fill this field if the user has used this contact
information before...

What is this feature called and where is the file stored that retains this
information?

Secondly, can this file be moved from Outlook 2002 to Outlook 2003?

Thanks for the help.

I think it's called AutoSuggest and the info is stored in an NK2 file in the
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
directory

It's called autocompletion. For a fairly complete description, see this:

Yes. See the above link.
