WAB to Contacts

[Frank]

Hi,
I have installed Outlook 2002, and have imported all my mail and account
settings fine. But I can not import my WAB file that I use with Address Book
6 (OE 6) into my Outlook 2002 Contacts list. I have run the Import Mail and
Addresses from the Import Wizard in Outlook 2002, but it does not detect my
address book. Any ideas on what I should try next?

Thanks!

You can only import a WAB into OE. From there you can import it into
Outlook.

Hi,
When I try to export my address book as a PAB file from OE, I get a message
the following message...

"The Windows Address Book is currently unable to perform this export. Make
sure you have the personal address book setup in Outlook and that it is set
as your current personal address book"

If I can't export my WAB to a PAB, how the heck will Outlook 2002 be able to
import it?

Thanks for the help!

You've lost me. OE cannot use a PAB. Do you mean you're trying to import TO
a PAB?
Outlook hasn't used a PAB for years. You import into your Contacts Folder.
File > Import and Export > Internet Mail and Addresses.
