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

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?

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

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?
