It is very easy to populate your autocomplete file from your Outlook
Contacts folder(s) using the following work-around:
In OL, go to tools, options, mail setup, send/receive. Uncheck the "Send
immediatly when connected box". Then, press the Send/Receive Button and
uncheck "Schedule an automatic send/receive". Next disconnect your
computer from the internet by removing your network and/or telphone
connection. Open a new e-mail, press the bcc or to or cc button, select the
contact folder you would like to bring into your autocomplete file. Select
all names by highlighting first and last contact and then add them by
pressing the OK button at the bottom. With your computer disconnected,
press the send button. This will automatically populate your autocomplete
file with all of the selected e-mail addresses. Next, go to your Outbox and
delete the e-mail you just created.
Remember to put your mail settings back and plug in your removed cables.
If you're interested, we also sell a utility that will let you fully edit
the autocomplete file. (I doubt that you would be at this point as you
don't really have an NK2 (autocomplete file), but thought I'd mention it
anyway. You can find it at
www.dcs-imaging.com/products.htm.
Good luck!

If you just started using Outlook, then you have not sent enough
messages to have populated your autocompletion cache. After you do, it
will work. Autocompletion uses that cache, not your Contacts data.
