My Outlook will NOT auto-complete the recipeint field untill I first manually
enter the complete email address. From then on it will auto-complete until I
close Outlook. My contact list has about 5 or 6 hundred entries. It had
been working fine until a recent MS update.
Running Outlook 2002 upgraded to 2003 still same problem. OS is Win XP-
SP2 with latest patches. MS Office 2003 also has latest patches.
Can anyone tell me why the auto-complete function died and how to fix it??
I've looked all over the MSKB without success.

Thanks
Craig

Make sure your NK2 file has no read only attribute (AV programs often set it
to read only).
If that fails, create a new profile.

Russ, Thanks for your reply. What is the NK2 file and where is it?? I
suspect that is what is causing the problem

Thanks.

The NK2 file is located in the (hidden) folder %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook.
