When I click on advanced email options, it doesn't show me the field "Suggest

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.

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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Chris" wrote in message ...

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?

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. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Chris" wrote in message ...

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?

I have made sure the advanced options showed the hidden files, but it still doesn't find it. What am I doing wrong? The file will be in %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook and its name will match your mail profile name. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
