Hi Wayne,

You are correct, .wab is a address book file, and most likely in Application
Data folder.

I should mention, by default, the Application Data folder is hidden on
Windows XP.

To show hidden files.

Go to Control panel and open Folder Options or open My Documents, choose
Tools on the menu bar, then choose Folder Options on it's menu. Either way
opens the Folder Options dialog window. Choose the View tab then tick "Show
hidden files and folders", click OK.

While there you might also want to uncheck "Hide file extension for known
file types"

Ken
PS: if you are using search to find .wab be sure to use Advanced Options and
select to search in hidden files/folders.

However,

so.
