Moving Cache

[Bob]

I have started a new computer with Vista Ultimate. I have outlook 2003 up
and running and have copied my PST file from my old Windows XP Pro computer.
I did have a lot of cached addresses which were not in my contacts. I copied
the .NK2 files from the XP to the Vista computer, replacing the currect
*.NK2 files in the roaming folder.

The address do not appear when I try to address a new email. Am I missing
something?

Regards. Bob

Is your profile name the same on the Vista Machine? Where did you put the file?

Yes, profile name the same and the NK2 files are in:
c:\users\profilename\appdata\roaming\microsoft\outlook
That is where I found the default NK2 files. Every thing else is fine.

But is the name of the old nk2 the same as the name of the new profile?
