Windows XP Pro comes with a free utility named Windows Address Book.

1 - Anyone know how to get all the data from that into Oulook ?

If you can open it in Outlook Express, you can export it to your Outlook
Contacts folder....and you should use Contacts for all your addresses in
Outlook.

2 - And, anyone know if fields can be added to Windows Address Book?
No.

3 - Anyone know where a Windows Address Book newsgroup or forum may
be?

OE use WAB - Outlook doesn't. There's no NG for WAB - but there are
newsgroups for Outlook Express....

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x

The WAB shows the data you've entered in Outlook Express. You can export it
to an Outlook .pst file with OE's File | Export | Addresses.

In Windows Address Book you can export to a personal address book
(Exchange). From within Outlook you can import the pab-file into your
contacts.

Support for WAB can be found in the Outlook Express newsgroup;

Good Luck!
