Importing Outlook Express Address Book

[John]

I saved my Win 2000 Outlook Express Address Book (.wab)
file and want to import it into Windows XP Outlook. The
import function is looking for a .pab file. How do you
do the import?

 

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

You can't. Only OE can use a WAB.
You must import it into OE. From there Outlook can import it.

Export the WAB as a CSV and import into Outlook in the same format.
