upgrade from office 97 to office pro 2000

[Guest]

We have upgraded from Office 97 to Office Pro 2000. Found the pst files to
get information emails back into Office pro 2000. Does anyone know where I
can find the address book. Can't find any email address's. Thanks for your
help...Sam

Look for .pab files on the Office 97 machine or look in the Contacts folder of the .pst file.

There is no address book in Outlook. All Contact data is in your Contacts
Folder. You just need to configure the address book view. If you don't know
how, you need to tell us your mail support mode so someone can tell you.
There are 2 completely different modes of Outlook 2000.

Outlook typically uses its Contact folder for use as an address book in
conjuntion with the Outlook Address Book service. So, there's not a separate
file to look for.

Sue, the upgrade was on the same machine but I will look for the .pab files.
Also, I will probably purchase your book for reference purposes. Thanks

Russ, since I 'm new to this you need to tell me the names of the 2 modes of
Outlook 2000. I also understand there is no "address book" in Outlook. It
should be converted to the Contact List. I checked the contact list but my
customer tells me there are more address somewhere because the contact list
doesn't have them all. Thanks,

Vince, I will follow up with everybody and thanks for the quick help.

If the Contact List is incomplete, it is possible that the user was using a
PAB file. No one has used one for years, but no one has used Outlook 97 for
years either. Look for files with a PAB extension.
Your mail support mode is listed in line 2 of Help | About. If it says
"Corporate/Workgroup," you will be able to access the PAB file. If it says
"Internet Mail Only," you will not.
