Moving NK2 File from XP machine to Vista machine
Was running machine with XP Pro w/Office 2007, now running machine with Vista
Ult w/Office 2007. When I copy over the NK2 file onto the new box, auto-complete does not work. The directory didn't even have any NK2 files prior to the copy, even after running Outllok for a couple of days. Anyone have any tips on how to get the old NK2 file to work with the new machine? Thanks in advance! -Darrin

Is it in the %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook folder? Did you name it the same as your mail profile name? Perhaps this will help: http://www.ingressor.com/autocompletetips.htm -- Brian Tillman

That is correct. I did move it into the directory and made sure it was named
the same as the current profile. -Darrin "Brian Tillman" wrote: Darrin wrote: Was running machine with XP Pro w/Office 2007, now running machine with Vista Ult w/Office 2007.

Moving NK2 File from XP machine to Vista machine
The path to this file is quite different in Vista. If you try to use the
same path you did in XP, you shouldn't even be able to access it. State the path you used. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Darrin" wrote in message ... That is correct.

Bingo. You got it. The old path is now just a junction, and you should have
gotten an Access Denied warning when trying to access it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Darrin" wrote in message ...
