You need to put the data in the correct location.
The storage of data in XP differs in win 7

Read support.office.com for more detail.

The Auto-Complete List entries are saved in your Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox or in the Outlook Data File (.pst) for your account.
For more clarity read support.office.com.

Yes i know the different locations

When outlook 2010 is launched it automatically creates 8 .dat files but on XP i have those files already. and even if i try to move it this folder a delete the files that got created, when outlook is launched again the files get recreated again.

Thanks
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
