How can I import my address book into Outlook?

There is no address book in Outlook.
All Outlook data resides in one file.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Russ,

I'm not sure you're right. I am having exactly the same problem as this
poster (I think), and in Outlook 2002 it looks like there IS an Address Book
file. The links you've provided seem to related to Outlook 2003. Can you
offer any suggestions for how someone using Outlook from Office XP (2002)
might reoslve this problem?

In all versions of Outlook, the address book is simply a view of the
electronic addresses that reside in the Contacts Folder. It contains no
data. It does not exist as a separate file.
I'm happy to entertain your notion that indicates otherwise.
