MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2007cannot access previously saved Autocomplete list of email addresse
At one time, in fact, a few days ago,the autocomplete was functioning fine for my Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 version. I left my work computer Friday with things working fine. Today, Monday, the Autocomplete still functions, but all of the email addresses that had automatically been saved over several months are gone. It is like I am starting from scratch. The thing is, I have not made any recent modifications, removed any programs, etc. between then and now that could explain the mysterious disappearance of my email address list. I did not come in to work at all over the weekend! PLEASE HELP! The connection to the autocompletion cache is very fragile in Outlook and is frequently lost. The only way to repair it is with third party software: http://www.ingressor.com/nk2_recovery_info.htm  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > At one time, in fact, a few days ago,the autocomplete was functioning fine > for my Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 version.

I found the nk2 file for my user profile and it said it had recently been modified. I didn't knowingly modify it and no other person was here to modifiy it at that time, that I know of. What do you suppose could have happened? > The connection to the autocompletion cache is very fragile in Outlook and is > frequently lost.

Stinks that you don't get some sort of warning or something to indicate it is going to stop and completely wipe out what had been saved. Does this occur often? Oh, by the way, thanks for the info on how to work on retrieving the info. I didn't quite restore the current NK2 file in my profile, though. Instead, I copied the NK2 file from another profile on this computer which I had used for several months prior to setting up this current second one and posted that file in this current profile's account to overwrite what was there. The old one at least had some addresses I still currenlty use, so all is not completely lost. I just have to work on updating it again. Am I to expect this "crash" to happen again at some point? Is there a specific limit as to how many addresses it can hold before the function quits saving and seemingly wipes all others out? > What happens is that Outlook stops writing to the file correctly. > > THanks!

Microsoft has done nothing to either acknowledge or correct the problem. If you are lucky enough not to encounter another error, the cache will hold 1000 entries before it starts deleting entries in FIFO fashion.
