Outlook 2007

[drhee]

Outlook loses all of my auto complete names each time i restart. I added a
new profile, which didn't work and I don't know what to try next. Outlook
2007, beta 2 runs fine on my other machine. It's machine specifiic.

That means you have a corrupt profile or that your NK2 file got set to read
only.

I renamed my *.NK2 file to *.bak so that Outlook would re-create one. That
didn't help. Is there a way to set my *.NK2 to read/write?

Actually, I fixed this myself. You need to ensure that your *.NK2 is exactly
the way your profile name reads. Outlook 2007 beta 2 keeps the NK2 file name
as Default Outlook Profile. You need to manually rename it to your profile
name.nk2. 90% of people probably never change their profile name from
Default Outlook Profile to some other name and will never have this problem.
I've reported the bug and the fix.

It is not a bug, nor does this fix the initial issue that you reported.
You are simply stating the well known method for migrating an NK2 file. That
has nothing to do with your initial post.

This has everything to do with my initial post. Shouldn't Outlook
automatically rename my NK2 file when I create a new profile? Each time I
would exit outlook, it would lose my Auto Complete cache of names because
there was no NK2 file associated with it since the NK2 file had a name that
was different than my Profile name. To have to manually rename my NK2 file
in order for Outlook to see that cache seems like a bug. Well, at the end of
the day, my Outlook is working fine.

thx,

But that's not what your initial post was about. You said Outlook failed to
retain autocompletion data from one session to the next. That's a completely
different problem than migrating to a new profile.
Outlook never retains data when you create a new profile. That's often the
whole point of a new profile.
