No NK2 file?

[Stephen Green]

Outlook 2003 won't create an NK2 file with the frequently used e-mail
addresses. No suggestions are made as I type in the address.

I have Automatic Name Checking and Suggest Names checked.

I tried populating the NK2 file this way:

I disconnected my computer from the internet. I opened a new message. In
the To: field I entered ALL of the e-mail addresses I frequently use. I
click send. I delete the message from the Outbox and reconnect myself to
the internet.

Now when I open a new message and begin entering and e-mail address
suggestions come up as I type.

BUT as soon as I close Outlook and re-open it, the suggestions are no longer
there. And I looked for the NK2 file and it isn't there.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Thnaks for the advice. I haven't been able to find any posts on this
subject. (I have 4906 headers downloaded in OE). If you can point me in
the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again.

There's nothing more to tell you.

I agree with Russ, it sounds like corrupted Profile data. You might be
