Address Book
I am using Windows 2000 Professional.
When I reply to a message the computer saves the e-mail address for me so that when I go to send a new message and I begin to type in the e-mail address, the system auto-completes the rest of the e-mail address for me. This is great. However, when I double click on the the TO: I do not find that individual's e-mail address in the list of names. When I click on Address Book, I have 3 options. Outlook Address Book (which is empty) a subfolder under the Outlook Address Book called Contacts (this has all my old e-mail addresses) and Personal Address Book (which is also empty). How can I find out where the system is storing the information. And how can I get the system to write the e-mail address of the recepient I reply to to my Contacts folder or my Outlook Address Book or my Personal Address Book. Thanks. |

Address Book
Your Outlook version would be of relevance here.
Not your operating system. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Roy" wrote in message ... I am using Windows 2000 Professional.

Address Book
I was able to find the file that the system saves all my e-mail addresses to. The system saves it to a file called Outlook.NK2.
The question is how do I direct my Address Book to look at that file. The Persoanl Address Book only looks for file that have the extension (*.PAB). The Outlook Address Book gives me the following error when I click on Properties. The Properties dialog box could not be displayed. An attempt was made to opne an unsupported property. |

Outlook has not used a PAB file for over 5 years. Are you, and if so, why?
You should be using the Outlook Address Book and your Contacts Folder. The Autocompletion cache is completely independent from your Contacts Folder. You cannot direct it to your Contacts Folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Roy" wrote in message ... I was able to find the file that the system saves all my e-mail addresses to.

I am not using PAB. I'm using Outlook Address Book and my Contacts Folder.
The only problem is when I reply to someone, shouldn't his e-mail address be added to my contacts folder automatically. This is not happening. Can you please tell me how can I make this happen. Thanks. |

Then why did you say you were using a PAB?
I already told you that you can't make this happen. Autocompletion uses a cache derived from messages you have already sent, not your Contacts Folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Roy" wrote in message ... I am not using PAB.
