Exporting address book from OL2000 to OE6.0

[Guest]

Well, I've searched the newsgroups high and low but haven't found what I need
to do this with. I found how to go from OE to OL but not the other way
around. My address book in .pab form exists on OL2000 in my computer at
work. Now that I got one at home that is running OE6.0 I'd like to transfer
it over. So I email myself the .pab file from work and then try to import it
into OE and it asks me for a .wab file. I tried converting the .pab to a
..csv and then to a .wab to see if that would work, but I can only get a
window that asks me which of the folders in OL I want to export from. I
can't browse for the .pab file, no matter where it is located. I'm sure I
can either do this by some sleight of keyboard or it can't be done and I have
to copy my addresses over manually. Arggghhh!! Any help would be greatly
appreciated; my apologies if this has been covered before and I couldn't find
it. Thanks!

In Outlook Express, 'File|Import|Other Address Book|Microsoft Exchange
Personal Address Book'. You'll need to have both Outlook and Outlook
Express on the same machine to do the conversion:

Oh wait, I think I need this.... If I have both OL and OE, will I then be
able to convert this to OL2007? OH PLEASE say YES.
