I am trying to copy my personal address book (.pab) file from one PC to another. I do a search in the Find file app and can't seem to find it. My files are set to display all file extensions. I also looked under I believe Tools or Options (can't recall where it was I looked)
Any ideas on how to locate it
Thanks, regard
Van
 
Are these contacts stored in the Contacts folder? Then you don't have a
pab-file. Otherwise make sure you include hidden and system files/folders
during your search.

pab is/was an Outlook address book, not OE.
Depending on your version of Outlook, Contacts now contain all your
addresses. Export the Contacts folder, copy that and then import on the new
machine.

Hi, mevy -

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
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
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
