Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\WAB
\WAB4

Is there a DWORD named UseOutlook and is its value set to 1 (one)?

If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with Outlook, even
if you don't use it (can happen with the install of Office). Change the
value to 0 (zero), Address Book should be available to you and all should be
well. (If that DWORD is not present, don't create it.)

Notes:

- I'm assuming you want to export Address Book as a WAB or CSV file. If
sharing is already enabled, you don't need to export it to OL because OL
already contains Address Book's contacts.

- Any changes made (additions/deletions/edits) while sharing with OL was
enabled will *not* be available (visible) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.

- Address Book Groups and Folders don't export or import, only the contacts
in the main list.
