Default Unsharing Address Book and Contacts

Michael Santovec wrote:
When sharing is enabled, the contacts are in the Outlook PST file. When
you stop the sharing, OE goes back to using the WAB file that was in use
before the sharing. The WAB file likely doesn't have the contacts you
want. It won't have anything added after the sharing was enabled.

You need to Export the Contacts from Outlook to a CSV (Comma Separated
Values) text file (before or after you end the sharing).

You can't import or export from Outlook Express while sharing is
enabled.

Then once the sharing is turned off, you can import the CSV file into
the Outlook Express WAB file. Or since you are moving to a new
computer, you can import the CSV file on the new PC.

For more information, see:

Thanks Michael and PA Bear. Sharing was apparently enabled from Day One,
so I did the CSV export/import. As far as I can tell, all is well.
