Right click on the Address Book that you copied to the HDD | Properties and
uncheck the Read Only attribute. Try the import now.

I did as you suggested. Opened the Address Book, clicked on File/Import,
located the address book file on the cd and then received the following
message:
Address Book - Main Identity An error occurred during the import. The
import process could not be completed.

Are you trying to import from the CD? That won't work. Copy the CD to
your
HDD. Open the Address Book and File | Import | Address Book (wab) and
point
to where you saved it.

I have exported my Outlook Express Address Book to a CD. I had to
reformat
my
hard drive the other day and reload Windows and all the other programs
as
well. When I try to Import the Address Book into Outlook Express, it
does
not
recognize the file and transfer the information. Any hints on how to
accomplish an Import?
