When I close Outlook it seems to "forget" it's list of
names to whom I have sent emails. I have the "Suggest
Names While Completing..."option checked and after sending
to a name, the next time I start typing the name is
suggested. But after I close Outlook and reopen it the
names are no longer suggested until after I send to them
again. I have tried renaming the nk2 file but the problem
persists. Any help greatly appreciated.
 
I have already tried deleting the profile as well and
that does not work either. Any other suggestions?

I created a new Outlook profile, and when that didn't work
I created a new NT profile. No new nk2 file was created.

Not possible.
If you create a new Outlook profile correctly, a new NK2 file will be
created. That's what fixes the problem.

In order to create the new profile I removed all profiles
from Outlook, rebooted, and created a new Outlook profile
by opening Outlook and following prompts. I connect to an
Exchange server. Because the nk2 file resides in docs and
settings\username\app data\microsoft\Outlook, I recreated
my NT profile as well, but still no nk2 file in that
location. Running a search on nk2 files brings up several
for other user profiles, all in the same place, but none
under my profile. (This is a work computer used by several
people.)

Not sure I follow. You could not open Outlook without a profile, so how did
you open Outlook to create a new profile?
You should create your profile from the Mail icon in Control Panel and make
sure it has a different name from any other profile you have ever used.
Deleting Profiles does not delete data.

I'm out of ideas, then.
Are you in some sort of networked environment where permissions might be in
play?
