Do you still have access to the old machine, or a copy of the Address Book?

Open the Address Book | File | Export | Address Book (wab) either to a CD,
or another location on your HDD and burn from there. Copy the CD to a folder
on the new machine. Right click on it | Properties and remove the Read Only
attribute. Open the Address Book | File | Import | Address Book (wab) and
point to where you saved it.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

I tried to copy two files of an address book from the old computer

My name.wab
My name.wab~

into Microsoft \ address book\ of new computer.

When OE was opened, it showed the list of addresses but I could not see
anything under Create Mail \To.....
It is empty. Apparently, the newly copied wab did not work. Please
tell
me how to fix this problem.
TIA. Jorge
