Address Book. TO: ( lost all of the addresses that used to pop up.

[Paul Barton]

I am using Microsoft Office 2003. Prior to a date when this alone crashed I could type a letter and all my addresses that started with that letter would pop up for me to select.
Does anyone know how I might recapture this feature?

You need to find the .NK2 file from your old install and rename it to the profile of your new install.

With Outlook closed, look in C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook for the newest .NK2 file and rename it .OLD. Find the old .NK2 file and name the same as the new one was.

If you're on Windows 7 the location is C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook

ie Outlook2.nk2 -> Outlook2.old and Outlook.nk2 -> Outlook2.nk2

If you can't find the old one, it may have been overwritten.

Cheers,
