My boss migrated a users nk2 file to a new workstation without renaming it.
The user continued to populate the new nk2 file. Now the user's data is
spread across two files that I can't merge without buying a 50 dollar 3rd
party program? Anyone know of another solution?

The NK2 was not designed to replace the address book and tends to be
fragile... its contents can disappear at any time. It is not editable within
outlook.

if you need them merged, you'll need a program to do it. your choice is one
of two programs listed at
