Outlook 2000 SP-3
 

In Outlook 2000 SP-3, I am having trouble creating and sending messages. I
keep getting a message that says "An error occurred while trying to open the
Windows Address Book. Unable to find the WAB DLL." Now, I have searched the
web to find some solutions, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook
several times. I am also concerned that I am going to loose me messages and
address book. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to correct this. I
am pretty good with computers, but I am not an expert with Outlook.

Hello Matt,

You probably need to reinstall Outlook Express (instead of Outlook) in order
to fix this problem.

Hi Ben,

I appreciate your note, but I have done this several times. This does not
seem to correct the situation on my computer. I had found that note
previously from Microsoft, but for me it does not seem to work for my
machine. I have even renamed the wab32.dll file as described. I am running
Service pack 2 in Windows XP and Service Pack three on office 2000. I can
receive mails, but I can not send or add from the address book.

any other suggestions?

Matt
