I'm using Outlook 2002, running on XP-Pro.

For auto namer completion go to:

Tools >>Options>>Preferences TAB>>EMAIL Options>>Advanced Email Options>> In the bottom pane titled, "When sending a message". ensure the "Suggest names while competing To, Cc and Bcc fields" is checked, to use the American vernacular.

I don't know if the contacts can be moved. Backingup to a file name of your choice in your My Documents folder is relatively easy tjough.

Click on the File Menu>>Import and Export>>Select "Export to a File">>Click Next>>Select "Personal Folder File (.pst)">> Your contacts should be in the Personal Folders, navigate to and select the contact list you wish to backup>>Click Next>> Use the Browse button to navigate to the desired location to save to, then hey presto.

As I understand it, almost all info Outlook uses is stored in the one pst file. To restore contacts if needed, one imports from the backed up file.
