cannot import address book to OL XP

[paul tapper]

Hi,

I did try to post this query earlier, but I cannot see it
now, so sorry if this has already been done.

My problem is this; I exported and burnt a WAB file,
copy, of my address book from (I think a OL5) running on
Windows 98 SE. I have since moved overseas to Korea and
running XP I cannot import this WAB file into OL6.

When I try I get the message

"An error occured during the import process. The import
process could not be completed"

Of course I put virtually all of my contacts details in
this file, and (being far from home) it would be REALLY
helpful if I could get them.

A little help?

Thanks

Not sure if this will work or not, but try COPYING the wab file
to your DESKTOP from the CD first and then attempt the IMPORT
with the IMPORT command and point it to the Desktop..

Make sure the file is on your hard drive and does not have the Read Only
attribute.
