Okay I know I'm being really stupid but how do you rename it like that? do
you open it in another file/ and what file do you open it in if thats so?

The remove is accomplished by renaming (user.wab) to (user.old) When
starting Address Book it will not find a .wab file thus creating a new .wab
file.

As we never deleted your existing file, only renamed it, it can be
restored..

| Hi,
|
| The address book data is in a file with .wab extension, should have your
| user name in front (user.wab).
|
| If one removes this file the address book program will create a new
blank
| ..wab file.
|
| In this new address book you can add a couple of contacts then try to
export
| them, if they export, we can perhaps assume the original .wab file is
| corrupt.
|

where
| you will find the .wab file on a Windows XP system.
|
| Also think Windows XP hides some of it's files so you will have to "show
| hidden files and folder", This option is in Folder Options, view tab.
| Folder Options can be found via Control Panel or opening My Documents,
| choosing Tools, then on it's menu choose Folder Options.
|
| Assure Address Book is closed.
|
| Search for .wab, find your .wab file, rename user.old.
|
| Open address book, a new blank address book should display. As discussed
| above create a couple of contacts and try to export.
|
| Further instructions as to your reply.

| | Wow.
| |
| | Online support knowledge base does not have any articles on this
error.
| |
| | Perhaps the Address Book file is corrupt. I will post back with some
kind
| | of test to confirm.

| | news | | | Hey. It doesn't give an exact error number or anything. It just goes
| back
| | to
| | | where you choose the text file thing, and above that it says 'error
