Up until this morning whenever I'd type the first few characters of an email
address that I'd previously written to (in Outlook 2003), the email address
would pop up and I could select it and avid typing the entire address
myself. Now that "history" is gone. What might have happened to my system?
IS there a way to recover that history?

Thanks,
Philo

Sounds like your NK2 file may have been deleted. Look for a file with that
extension here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

If possible see if you can restore it from a backup...
