I've been backing up my WAB address book to a zip drive
and it works fine in both the import and export modes.

However, when I copy my zip drive files to a CD, I am
unable to import the address book back into Outlook
Express.

When you copy a file to (or from) a CD, the read-only
attribute is set. If you want to import from CD you'll need
to copy it to a hard disk or zip drive first, then right-click
on the .WAB file, go to Properties and remove the
read-only attribute.
