Another thought for the future Larry, I have had cases where Export did
the job.

export oe address book thunderbird

FYI, I tried exporting the Address Book (from OE's File menu) and got
"Error exporting the Address Book." I'll try other suggestions.

Cheers, Larry

Is this Microsoft Knowledge Base article of any help?

That does the trick! Thanks very much. To summarize, I
- uninstalled cumulative security update 911567; rebooted
- copied the corrupted Address Book to another location
- deleted all wab files in the Address Book folder
- opened OE, which automatically created a new, empty Address Book
- imported the address from the (corrupted) backup copy
- everything loaded and looks fine!
- closed OE

I then...
- installed cumulative security update 911567 again; rebooted
- verified that the new Address Book with the imported (recovered )
addresses works. It does!

I'll tuck that away for future reference.

Cheers, Larry

Thanks for letting us know Larry, did a google search of 911567 & it is
well documented.
