Only OE uses a WAB file. Outlook cannot even import a WAB file.

How did I copy a WAB file off our SBS then? I didnt (havent) renamed it.
Perhaps I inadvertently copied an old Oultook Express WAB file - is that
what
OE used/uses? - that was still sitting on the Server?

ALL .pst folders are intact...And now when I hit "Open" on the WAB file it
clearly says
" YOU are about to Import a Windows Address Book - WAB- Contacts"...you
mean
if I say OK, it will go nowhere and be unusable?

Tks for quick response....

Hi

I have copied a WAB out of our SBS and amended it to create a specific
marketing contact list.

I am about to Import it back, but I am a little hesitant as I don't
want
to
overwrite the exisitng FULL WAB with my cutdown version.

If I Import it (and I STOP at this message - "YOU are about to Import
Windows Adress Book - WAB- Contacts") I will get an option to name it
something along thr lines of Marketing Group - wont I?

I use Outlook 2003 with a SBS Windows 2003 email server...

regards
Rod
