A word of advice: people are less inclined to help if you appear to be
complaining from the start, rather than requesting assistance.

Oh, and you spelt 'wasted' wrong.

This is a newsgroup. We can't see what you are doing and you have provided
no information that would tell us. Start over from the beginning with a
clear description of your problem and the steps you took to create it.
Recognize that when you use terms like "my address book," that means nothing
to anyone else.

Default can not create an address book, can not transfer old addresses

Thank you, you are correct. To start:
My old Outlook Express address book was started in 1995, with up grades and
importing untill 2000. I have now installed Office pro 2007, and need to
update my old information. I have done this on two of my computers, one a
lap top and the other a desktop. The desktop did all the work for me. My
addresses and contacts transfered. The laptop did not. (The difference of
the two installations on the Office pro, is that I elected to up date the
program on the lap top and did not on the desk top. ) What the laptop did is
create a strange contact list of e mail address, in the address book: contact
list. I must have created this list from trying to import the addresses from
my old address book in list. In list means when I receive an e-mail, the
address post first in this colum. I tried to import the segreated list that
I have in the book to no avail.

Because OP07 worked just fine (in the non updated) desktop. Can my updating
the laptop be the problem. If this is confusing I appoligize. Thank you for
trying to help, Elizabeth

Did you not realize that Outlook Express has nothing to do with Outlook?
They are completely separate programs with nothing in common. Accordingly,
what was it that you wanted to do?

No, I did not consider them seperate programs, just an old program vs. a new
one.

Ok, now I need to create an address book in the new Outlook. How do I
create one.

Default can not create an address book, can not transfer old addresses

Assuming that what you have is your data from Outlook Express, you would
need to transfer it to Outlook Express. Once you do, you can then export it
to Outlook.
If you don't know how to transfer to Outlook Express, ask in an OE group.
news://msnews.microsoft.com.microsof...outlookexpress

If this group isn't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found he

I just upgraded from Outlook Express in Windows Vista to Outlook 2007. None
of the e-mails, contacts, etc. from Outlook Express transferred to Outlook
2007. I can't even find Outlook Express in any of my programs.

How can I find Outlook Express, and how can I import folders, e-mails and
contacts into the new Outlook 2007?

Odd question. Outlook is not an upgrade to Outlook Express. The two programs
have nothing to do with one another.
Outlook Express does not even exist on Vista.
Care to try again?

I think I see. You aren't asking an Outlook question at all. You are asking
a Vista question.
Outlook Express does not exist on Vista and never has. So what you claim is
impossible. Vista replaced Outlook Express with an application called
Windows Mail. If in fact you were using that, you can easily import your
information from it.
File Import and Export Internet Mail and Addresses.
