oe6 data transfer
 

Hi group
I'm setting up my wife's new computer which is an xp media center. I
exported her address book as a .wab file burned to a cd from her old 98 2nd
edition computer, also using oe6. When I put the cd into the new computer
and hit fileimportaddress book and select the file on the cd I get a
message "an error occurred during the import process- the import process
could not.....". I'm also facing an impossible task importing her old
messages after having saved the .dbx files. thanks for the help.
Regards,
Mike

You need to copy it to the hard drive and remve the Read Only attribute
before importing.
