Backing up outlook address history

Hey all,

I have a user who has never used an address book in Outlook 2003. Instead, he has used the history. History being when you open up a mail message in the "to" line he would just type the letter of the person he wanted to send to and it would come up. This would ofcourse only include e-mail addresses he had send messages to or replied to. Anyway, I need to find a way to back that history up. Any ideas?

windows in-built "Files and settings transfer" wizard
 
Actually, I had tried that before posting. It was a nogo. However, I found the location of the file where it is stored.

c:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\outlook\outlook.nk2.

Copy that file to the same local on the new PC and bam you have it! Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for everyone who reviewed.
