Hello, I'm trying to find a way of saving my autocomplete list to the contacts folder, so that I may then export them as a vcf. I must no use a work computer that does not have outlook (nor an I allowed to install it.) I am planning on using thunderbirds and would like to find an acceptable way to bring in the NK2 file once saved as vcf.

Is this possible. Please note, I am not a programmer, just a user! thanks

Chris - maybe you'd rather we didn't document it? Outlook doesn't have an API for modifying the file so this is the only way to do it programmatically. You can use the UI to add/remove entries from the cache though.

Well - since Outlook uses this, and overwrites it upon change, and 99% of the time for anyone needing to play with this - outlook will be running... how do we instruct outlook *itself* to modify it's list?

That link was just intended as a reference to any properties you may find in an .n2k file that aren't listed here.

You mention that you can find property descriptions for the properties not in your list in the documentation you have linked in the text below your header 'Significant Properties.' I can't seem to find a list that includes the ones you have listed... I'm sure I'm just missing something simple...

I don't follow your question. PR_NICK_NAME_W is defined above. What are you looking for that you cannot find?

Is there supposed to be a complete list of the property tag values and their associated names, etc. in the document you have linked to underneath Significant Properties? I can't seem to find them in there such as the PR_NICK_NAME_W property with tag value = 0x6001001f...

Thanks Lev - fixed it!

Thanks Steve. Just a couple of typos:

Under Interpreting the Property Value, the doc should say "Bits 0 through 15" instead of bytes. Same for the bits 16 through 31.
