How do I retrieve a lost address book?
I have Outlook Express on my system and was trying to upgrade to Outlook.
When I installed the new program I attempted to import my address book from Outlook Express. I instead imported an old address book that was on an Excel spreadsheet that I had from when I purchased the computer a few years ago. Now I cannot find my Express address book. I located my pst file per previous similar questions & replies, relocated it and reopened it in Outlook Express. It still contains the old address book. Is my address book still retrievable?

How do I retrieve a lost address book?
OE uses a WAB file, not a PST file. But you can't import a WAB file. Just
import your Contacts directly from OE. The Import Wizard will direct you to OE when you select "Import Internet Mail and Addresses." -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Janelle" wrote in message ...

They are independent applications with different functions (although there is some overlap, obviously). When I installed the new program I attempted to import my address book from Outlook Express. What version of Outlok? How did you try to import? You should use FileImport and Export?Import Internet Mail and Addresses.

That all depends on the exact steps you took to get where you are and you haven't described them in enough detail to know. -- Brian Tillman
