Hi: I need help in moving my Outlook Express address book from one computer to another. One is a laptop, the other a PC, both use XP Windows. I found the address book in the old comp here: C: Program Files\Outlook express\WAB. I copied that and put it on my memory chip and put it into my new computer, and copied it to the desktop. Then, I went to my outlook express on the new computer and went to file and import, and clicked on the choice "desktop" but that file just didn't show up. So, I tried clicking directly onto the memory chip and still the file didn't show. Even though, when I'm not in OE, I can go to my computer, click on the chip and the old address book opens. I HOPE I've been clear...

ANYWAY, what can I do to get this address book from the old computer into the new one, short of reentering every single entry?

Thanks so much.

Dr. D.It has to be Exported from the Outlook Express program to the stick...copying it won't work.
You then open outlook on the other machine and Import it...
See your other Topic as WELL...ThankS! I had lost the other topic, but I found it. I exported and then imported, and it WORKED. Many thanks. By the way, I couldn't just straight import from the choice "address book". When I went to "import", I had to go to other address books, and then to comma separated VALUES. It wasn't too hard to figure that out but maybe you'd like to include that in your instructions for the next person!

Thanks again for all your help.

In peace
Dr. D. Glad to hear you're fixed up ...
