Problem with .wab file
 

I back up my OE address book by doing this

ToolsAddress Book File ExportEnter name of BU location and file name

The export shows up in the designated file as Walter.wab. That's OK.
However:

Created: Today, Mar 12, 2006, 11:40:16
Modified: Yesterday, Mar 11, 2006, 9:43:56
Accessed: Today, Mar 12, 2006
Attribute: Archive

How can this file be modified before it was created? Something is amiss. I
have subsequently exported the same address book, again: It always shows the
correct creation and access dates but always shows the Modified date as
March 11, 2006.

How can I rectify this situation?

Thank you.

What's amiss? Your export is just a copy made today, it was last modified
yesterday when you either added or deleted or modified some contact info in
it. There is no rectifying needed since all the info appears correct and
will in any instance, not be a problem in the future when and if you need
the data contained in it.

Thanks Jim

I assumed that when I exported the file, a new file was created. That's why
I was confused by the term "Modified".

Thanks for the clarification.
