I had a problem earlier with OE 6.0 the address book not loading. I
performed a system restore, I am able to access the address book but the
addresses do not display. I have renamed the .wab and attempted to imported
an earlier address book, but I continue to receive an error that 'An error
occurred during the import process. The import process could not be
completed.'

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do an Advanced search & include Hidden Files and Folders and search for:

*.wab

You will probably find a few. Choose the one you want and write down the
path and find it in Windows Explorer. Open the Address Book in the new
identity and File | Import | Address Book (wab) and point to where it is
located. Do not try to import from the main OE window. You must open the AB
and import from there.

Bruce,

Thank you for your reply. I seem to stil be having a problem. I'm not
familiar with identities in OE. There is only one and that's the main
identity. Do I need to create a new one? Also, I was able to import the
address book, but not with the names listed in groups. I can see them when I
open the .wab, but they are not importing that way. Any additional help
would be appreciated.

You didn't mention Groups before. Groups do not export, or import.

I'm sorry for this miscommunication. Is there a way associate the .wab with
OE 6.0 without importing? I tried to keep from recreating the groups.
Thanks again for you help.

Bruce,

I was able to resolve the problem. The WAB file location in regedit was
incorrect. When I changed it, the addressees and groups appeared. Thanks
again for your help.
