Hi,

 

Note: Please ensure Outlook 2010 is closed.

 

1.       Download NK2Edit from http://www.nirsoft.net

Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.

2.        Open the old Nk2 file (associating the file with NK2 does not work with version v1.12

3.       Click Save As, Change the Save as type to "Outlook 2010 AutoComplete .dat file".

4.       Navigate to the following directory in the address bar within the Save As Window. %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache

5.       Save over the current Stream_Autocomplete file.

Note: To avoid unexpected problems, you can first back up the Stream_Autocomplete*.dat file to other place.

6.       Test the AutoComplete feature.

 

Best Regards,

 

Sally Tang

Another option, built-in option to Office 2010;  PS (We also use NK2Edit (great products from NirSoft) in previous versions of Outlook to delete unwanted email addresses--Outlook 2010 can do this by right=clicking the email address in the auto complete list, and choosing the 'x')

Close Outlook 2010

Place *.nk2 file into %appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook

Rename to same name as current user email profile and keep .nk2 extension

From Run command prompt: Outlook /importnk2

Outlook automatically imports current email profile named .nk2 file into the current location of the stream file (even if I do not know its name nor location).

Outlook also opens after the import.

(We use this method, successfully, at my company)

'LOVE' multiple ways of doing things. :)

Thanks for your tip. I will be using it also.
