Where does Outlook store the address book? Looking for the path. Not Outlook Express, Outlook. Using XP Pro.

c:/documents and settings/(your username)/application data/Microsoft/address book.
Note that the app data folder is hifdden by default so you will need to set windows to show hidden files.

Since you asked, no, I didn't. There was no Address Book folder in the path you suggested. As I posted a little ways down on the page, now I'm trying to find the location of the Contact List, which I understand is different from the address book. I'm getting all this info third hand from another tech where I work. Thanks for any help.

you need the *.pst file. The address book IS located in the directory that I referenced. If yours isn't then it has either been moved or deleted.

Is Outlook setup for an exchange or for a pop mail server. If it setup for exchange then the file recides on the Exchange server and is not contained in a single file. If Outlook is using a pop mail server then it should be contained in the .pst and it could be any where on the hard disk. Try a search for *.pst.
