Is there anyway to reset the autofill choices that are
presented when one addresses an email in Outlook 2002?

I have deleted the contacts from the address book but
autofill still suggests names/addresses that I no longer
have.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to delete individual entries, start typing in a name and when
the list comes up, point to the entry you want to delete (so that it's
highlighted) and press Delete. To delete the whole cache and start over,
look for a file with an .NK2 extension and rename it or move it. Outlook
will start a new cache file the next time an e-mail address is typed into
the To: box. Note that if you're using Windows 2000 or XP, you'll need to
search in hidden and system folders to find the .NK2 file (it also helps to
have file extensions visible).

Al,

There is also a utility that we wrote that will let you manage your
autocomplete info. Inasmuch as the autocomplete cache only holds 1000
records, our utility can be a very necessary item as it will also allow you
to export contact information. You can find it at

Good luck!
