.pab file/contacts/address book

**Linda** · July 14th 09, 04:20 AM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

I have searched for hours for an answer to this and have tried everything
suggested to no avail; I thought I'd ask my question direct prior to throwing
in the towel. I have office 2003 and imported my .pst file after reinstalling
(now I know importing is a no-no). All of my email and folders imported
correctly, but I have no addresses. I see that I have a .pab file in the
appropriate path, so I went to tools, email accts, view or change directory.
I have tried adding, changing, have made this a personal address book with
the path to the .pab, I have tried the personal address book with the path to
the .pst, and nothing in my old address book shows up. I am soon going to
upgrade to outlook 2007 in hopes of avoiding this in the future - I have
never been able to save any of my addresses when I have to reload outlook and
always have a backup .pst file. Aaaaargh! Please help!
