where are my contacts and how can get them back?
My harddrive wont boot anymore, so i got a new one. I have the old one in an
external enclsure so i can see all the files. I need to know where all my outlook contacts are. I found a contacts.dbx file in docs and settings/user/local settings/identity/####/outlook express/contacts.dbx but when i paste that in there it doesnt do anything. Is that right? How can i get these contacts back?

Outlook, or Outlook Express? If the later:
Contacts.dbx was from a user created folder in Outlook Express named Contacts. Can you do a search on the external drive? Do an Advanced search and include Hidden Files and Folders, and search for: *.wab If that is not successful, in your current Address Book | Help | About will show the path to that Address Book. The path for your old AB should be similar on the external drive. If outlook is also installed, see: http://www.insideoe.com/faqs/where.htm#findwab -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Sean Clark" Sean wrote in message ...
