Address Book: File Export Other address book Select TXT file (CSV) &
save to your HDD (e.g., desktop) Import the saved CSV file into OL.

Windows version? Is the machine fully patched at Windows Update?

OE Help About Files: What versions of WAB32.DLL, MSOE.DLL and
INETCOMM.DLL

Is Address Book still configured to share contacts with OL?

Try the following to Export to a CSV file:
1) Open the address book in OE, then select Help, About and note the
location of the file
2) Close the address book
3) Locate the WAB file noted in step one and double click it to open
4) Then do File, Export, Other Address Book, Text File (Comma Separate
Values) and follow the prompts

different route then what I'm taking or what. Thanks for trying to help me
though.

To add to Mike's reply:

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, 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 |
View.

Now you should be able to find it and continue as Mike suggested. (You
didn't state your Windows version as asked by Robear).

Okay I've found the file. I'm trying to open it but the computer does not
recognize the file ext so it doesn't know what to open it with.

I'd like to know the full version (e.g., 6.00.2900.1234) of each file,
please. It'll tell me if you're up-to-date at Windows Update.

Please state your Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP2).

Does it have an .WAB file extension? It should.

If so, the file association for WAB files should be:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\wab.exe" %1
