There is no separate address book in Outlook.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data. Just open the
PST file in Outlook and copy what you want from it. Once you do so
correctly, your Contacts Folder will be populated as long as the old PST
file contained your Contacts. As I said, the Outlook Address Book is empty
and should be. It will only display your Contact information once you tell
it to:
