Some stupid carpet cleaning people came in today and moved my computer
causing most of the connections to be yanked out of the back. Now on my
outlook, the Autocomplete feature does not function. Anybody know how to
retrieve the list...I only have about 500 people I reach by the first three
letters of their e-mail.

it's a file with the extension NK2 and found at C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook - but if it's gone,
it's likely it was damaged and replaced. It's not meant to be a substitute
address book, just a faster way to access frequently used addresses.
