Add names to nickname cache

K

Like Steve below, I would like to ADD names to the
nickname (or auto completion) cache file. I know that
the information is stored in outlook.nk2, but is there
any tool for adding, say, the contacts from your address
book into it so that you don't have to USE all the names
before they are used for suggestions in the auto-complete
feature.

No, the cache is built dynamically by names that you type in.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal

We developed utility that enables users to open, add, edit, delete this
autocomplete information. Our "Add" features was a one at a time process.
We've received so many requests that we are adding an "import" feature that
will be tailored for reading Outlook Contact Export files (TEXT and CSV
formats) and import them into your autocomplete file.

This feature is NOT complete, but will be added any day.

If you want to write me directly, I can e-mail you when that feature is in
our Owtlook Autocomplete file editor. You can find us at
