MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2005Autocomplete addresses
Hello, I have a user who needs all the names in the drop-down lists that would appear the moment she began typing an email address. Used to be huge...now it's empty. I assume there is file on the c drive with all these entries and that it can be imported. Please assist. Thanks very much. :-) The file is/was a file with an NK2 extension. I don't know if there's a way to import directly into it. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > and > that it can be imported. Please assist.

That feature doesn't exist prior to Outlook 2002. For those versions you should be able to regenerate the file from your Contacts folder, but keep in mind it holds only 1,000 names. Also, see http://www.dcs-imaging.com/ for a commercial tool that can manipulate the autocompletion cache file.  SignatureBrian Tillman Outlook 2003 Joseph, We have a utility that will let you import an external data source directly into the NK2. Conversely, you can press one button and copy NK2 data into a contact folder. You can find it at www.ingressor.com it's call Ingressor, taken from the root word Ingress, the power to access.

SignatureBrian Tillman A lot more than the name has changed. "Son of Owtlook" has become a pretty robust tool.

Brian, I'm writing a white paper on the discoveries of the NK2 file's relationship to ADIS and the conflicts that occur therein. Since I don't function in an Exchange environment, most of what I've learned has been gleaned from Exchange Admins. complaining about such issues. It is my guess that MOST of the Exchange world is aware of "A" problem, but not necessarily that the problem stems from the NK2. You may find it interesting reading when I'm done.

Let me know, because I agree. SignatureBrian Tillman I was using outlook express but changed to outlook recently Outlook express used to have the function of the auto complete nam that suggest the kind of email addresses I'm typing I have checked the box in the outlook but this function is still no activated Could you advise if I missed out any other steps Why do you not think it is activated? Have you sent enough messages to populate a robust autocompletion cache?
