Installed Outlook 2002 and all my address book entries moved to Contacts, which I find much less useful. The address book's still on the taskbar, but empty. How can I export the entries back to my address book

Thanks!
 
Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.

Your Address Book entries were always in Contacts. That's where they reside.
The Outlook Address Book contains no data and only displays the data in your
Contacts Folder.
Configure it: see the next post.

Thanks, Russ. I don't quite understand the point about the Address Book data residing in Contacts, different as they are, but I'll try your suggestion. I'd do anything to fill my address book again!

The Outlook Address Book is simply a dynamic list of all the electronic
addresses contained in your Contacts Folder.
