Open the address book and select Help, About Address Book. It will tell
you the full file name.

If that is blank, it means that you have set OE to share the Office
Outlook contacts and the contacts are in the Outlook PST file. OE is
not using a WAB file in that case.

Plan to do a complete RESTORE of my laptop. Would like to save the
address book. Thought it was a .wab file - search found nothing.
Where does MS store the address book -or- what is its tag?

BTW, did a comp RESTORE on a desktop - was well worth the effort.
However, thought the address book went along with the INBOX and like
stuff. Not so. Thus lost all contacts on that machine. (Inbox, etc
files kept on another physical disk).

Thank You for what may be a question asked again and again!
