Does Outlook 2000 work on Vista?

[Richard B]

Ever since I moved from Windows XP to Vista, Microsoft Outlook 2000 has
refused to function properly.

The program starts, but after that I get the error:

"Unknown error 0xA514011D An error occured while attempting to open the
Windows Address Book. Unable to find the WAB.DLL."

I have tried to locate and install the WAB.DLL, but nothing has worked.
I have also tried starting from scratch creating a new ".PST" file,
removing the old ones, but this error is persistent.

All the other Office 2000 applications are working. Why won't Outlook work?

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Richard..

Actually, it has nothing to do with using the email or calendar features
of the program. What I really want to do is find a way to export all
the contacts and other notes that I have stored there. Once exported I
can load them into the other programs that I use. But the program won't
let me do an export because of that WAB.DLL problem.

Can't say I really want to do the hack mentioned in the link.

As for the Windows Contacts ... I don't see how one imports contacts
into that folder.

Thanks,

Richard..

Export it manually

Change the Outlook installation to "Corporate/Workgroup" mode and the WAB
message should go away. Tools>Options>Mail Delivery>Reconfigure Mail Support.

Brian, I had same issue and changed the mode. Now Outlook keeps asking
to setup every time we start the program.

Well, you shouldn't be trying to use Outlook 2000 on Vista anyway.

Always noting that there's a previous setup and if we want to use the same
setup.

I'd say "yes".
