Hi,

Assuming you are exporting Outlook Express Address Book (choosing File, on
it's menu selecting Export, then on it's expanding menu, choosing Other
Address Book, then selecting "Text File (Comma Separated File)" what is the
exact error you receive when trying to Export?

| Hi Realt World,
|
| Let's take this one step at a time. What steps are you taking when
exporting
| contacts from Outlook as a comma-separated values file? It should be
along
| these lines ...
|
| 1. File menu Import and Export
| 2. Export to a file
| 3. Comma Separated Values (Windows)
| 4. Select the Contacts folder
| 5. Save exported file as: Browse to a folder of choice and name the
file
| 6. Finish
|
| The file should be ready for use for importing into the Windows Address
| Book. The contacts will first go the main contacts folder.
|
| You may not need to work with vCard files, but to create a vCard file is
| easy.
|
| 1. Select a contact
| 2. Right-click ... Copy
| 3. Go to a Windows folder created for the purpose
| 4. Right-click in the folder ... Paste
|
| It is possible to work with multiple entries instead of just one.

| Hi Realt World,
|
| Where are you looking -- is the CSV file blank when the addresses are
| exported from OE, or from the Windows Address Book?
|
| The CSV file can be opened in Notepad. Drag the file into a blank
Notepad
| window.
|
| Can you copy one or more addresses to a Windows folder? These vCard
| (*.vcf)
| files could be pasted into an Outlook contacts folder.

| Hi Realt World,
|
| If Outlook is installed on the same PC try importing the WAB
contacts.
|
| http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...919601033.aspx
|
| The Outlook Express contacts can be exported as a comma-separated
values
| (*.csv) file, or the OE contacts could be copied to a Windows folder
| creating virtual card (vCard or *.vcf) files. Outlook supports both
| types
| of
| files.
