outlook express add.book problems

Comment:

new install of XP done yesterday, backed up all my stuff from ME that I wanted, I imported my old add. book ( outlook xpress )to the new xp OE under progam files/outlook express and did the " import ". Now the wab file is in the new program files/ OE folder bit when I open OE and go into " add. book " it's empty. Any Ideas??????? Thanks in advance

XP Pro, this is where my OE Address Book is located. Is XP Home different? C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\username.wab Not sure why yours ended up where it did but you could find the one that has the proper info in it and copy it to the proper location. If you open the address book and click on help and About Address Book you should see where the proper location should be. Good luck, Ron
