manes while completing To, Cc, Bcc" Why and how do I get it?

After setting up the new computer, everything works wonderfully EXCEPT when
I compose e-mails, it doesn't auto-fill the e-mail address (To:) anymore like
it used to on the old computer. There are e-mail addresses that I need that,
unfortunately, aren't in my contact list, but have always auto-filled before.
I still have the old computer. Is there a file I can transfer that will
re-populate the auto-fill feature?

Then you are using a version of Outlook prior to 2002.

I have a Vista Machine I installed Outlook 2007. The auto fillin checkbox is
set in outlook: To: CC: BCC there was no .nk2 files- even after showing all
protected and hidden files...
I created a file called, profilename.nk2
I thought by creating this file, it would resolve the issue- it didnt.. I
made sure the name of the File was exact(case, etc)

When you are in outlook... you type in the name or pull from an address
book... it saves the names you type in..while in outlook 2007, but the moment
you get out of outlook and reenter- the name are gone..

I have removed outlook 2007 completely as well and reloaded!!
Any suggestions?

If you have enabled autocompletion and have populated a cache by sending
messages, then you will have an NK2 file. It cannot be otherwise.

Thanks for saying this.. that is what I thought...
Apparently Vista is different.. I thought maybe there was a permission issue
where the user didnt have rights to make a file.. so I created one myself
with no luck..
this might be a rare case.. but there is no file .nk2, except for the one I
created...

anyone have any ideas? I have already turned off antivirus scanning and any
type of spam blocker that might interfere with the file being created and or
updated??

Anyone have a sample file I can use and see if it works?

Vista isn't different. Open Windows Exporer and enter

%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook

in the address field. Press Enter. What do you see?

You cannot create an NK2 file yourself. Only Outlook can create a valid NK2
file.
Vista is not different. Brian has posted the path to search.
Outlook will not create an NK2 file until you have sent messages and then
exited Outlook completely. So one of those conditions is not true. Tell us
which. Bear in mind that if you are running add-ins or sync software,
Outlook may not have exited completely.

Outlook 2K3 New computer auto-fill To: field?
 

I am having a similar problem with autocomplete. I have Windows XP and
Microsoft 2007. The autocomplete feature is checked in Outlook. The
autocomplete feature works as long as Outlook is on. However, if you close
Outlook and open it back up, the autocomplete feature doesn't work and it is
still checked in the options menu. I have searched for the nk2 file and it
does not show up on the search. I have made sure the advanced options showed
the hidden files, but it still doesn't find it. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Teresa

You have something that is preventing the closure of Outlook. See if this
helps:

The file will be in %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook and its name will match your
mail profile name.
