Save address book in outlook 2003 SP2.

[Guest]

Team,

How do I save the address book as a PAB file sepereately from the master
save file?
We use to be able to do this back in the early days of outlook express,
remember?

Outlook Express never used a .pab file.

Early versions of Outlook used a .pab file, but recent versions have supported it mainly for backwards compatibility. The primary location for contact information today is your Contacts folder in OUtlook.

All of which is a long way of saying that I have no idea what you're trying to do.

File | Import and Export -- export your Contacts folder.

Sue,
I do not see that when I follow those instructions.
File>import-export>Then I do not see the contacts.
Is their another way to do it?

You didn't see the "Export to a file" option on the Import and Export wizard?
