Outlook email address auto-complete - nk2 file

I know that the autofill email addresses are kept in the OUtlook.nk2 file.
We jsut did a domain switch and I located the user's old nk2 file but she states that the addresses are too old and her new ones are not there. The date on the file was 2 years old. Is there another place that these could be save?

Thanks

Greetings, Pdeters !

Older Outlook keep the nickname file in a .NICK file.  Do a search for *.NICK

NK2 and NICK files are hidden files.  Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders".  Click OK.


Best wishes!
Is the place that you looked for the NK2 file:
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook in the name of <profile name>.nk2

Thanks but we have been using Outlook 2003. There is a nk2 file but had old date and was actaully called by a different name. dian.nk2

Any suggestions?
So you have check for dian.nk2 file in another part of computer or network?  Did user dian use another profile?  Check other user profiles.
