moving e-mail addresses
My client has nothing in Outlook's contacts.
When he needs to send e-mail he just starts typing and then select from scroll-down menu. Now I have to migrate his settings to another computer, but have to migrate the list of e-mails also. Is there any way to pull out these e-mails? Thank you.

You can save the autocompletion cache then copy it to the new installation.
It's the file %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\yourprofile.NK2, where "yourprofile" is, of course, your mail profile name. To move it to another Outlook instance, copy it with Outlook closed and place it in the same folder on the destination machine, remove it's read-only attribute if you copied it by CD/DVD, and rename it to match the mail profile on that machine. Outlook must be closed there, too. If you already have one on that machine, be sure to rename it out of the way first. When you restart Outlook, the NK2 file you transported should be the one Outlook uses. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Alan" wrote in message ... My client has nothing in Outlook's contacts.
