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 RWSP
At what point in the sequence do you get this error?
Is it after you highlight 'Text File Comma etc' and hit 'export' or later.

Hi,

To rename a file, right click it, choose Rename.

Locate your (user.wab) file. put the mouse pointer over it, right click, a
menu will display, choose Rename, type your user name.old.

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.
