I have one computer with OE that has two identities for OE, each with their
own Address Book. If I want to export each one of those two Address Books to a new computer with OE and want to continue to keep them separate, how do I do that? |

Hi Fred,
You could export addresses from each identity (as a comma-separated values file, or *csv file) and import them into corresponding separate identities. For one main identity, since OE uses only one default WAB file, you could use a free standing WAB file for one group of addresses. This (free standing) book could not be used to auto-complete addresses when sending e-mail.

Thanks for the response, Tim. But I really don't understand. Could you
please expand? "Kuay Tim" wrote in message ...

Hi Fred,
I would export addresses (as a comma-separated values file) from OE in each identity, then use these files to import each set of addresses into OE (again) using two identities. You could also try exporting each address book as a *.wab file, then use these files when importing. It would not hurt to export each set of address as a *.wab file and as a *.csv file. There are drawbacks to each method so one might work best for you. Tips for exporting as a CSV file are on the page http://home.earthlink.net/~kuaytim/exportwab.htm Do you have a more specific follow-up question? -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "Fred" wrote in message ...
