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

The file is a hidden file. If you have enabled autocompletion it exists.
File locations are well documented in the public domain:

I have Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 and I have the same problem like Chris,
no
.nk2 file (the Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields is
ON).
In the folder drive:\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook I found a file
spscoll.dat which contains an amount of the names used by me but the list
is
far not complete.
What you sugest, where to look for the file?

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?

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

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

When I click on advanced email options, it doesn't show me the
field
"Suggest
manes while completing To, Cc, Bcc" Why and how do I get it?

Old computer - Win2K SP4 - Outlook 2003 using .OST file with
Exhange
Server

New computer - WinXp Pro SP2 - Outlook 2003 using .OST file w/
same
server

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?




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?
