Trying to import WAB file from another computer to new Outlook 2007. I can
run import but it doesnt ask where file is so it does nothing.
 
You can only import from OE when it is installed on the same partition. You
cannot import a WAB file.
 
Russ-
I'm a fairly savvy computer person. But, I dont know what you mean by
'partition'. I have moved the WAB file from old computer to my new
vista/outlook 2007 computer. Since OE doesnt come with vista or office 2007,
I'm not sure why the import option would allow you to reference OE unless
there's a way to do it! (or, am I just being too logical?). Could I build a
'fake' OE directory structure and just put this file in it? Or, is it looking
in one of the Outlook folders? Or, do I need to export and import a csv file?

Painfully slowly information trickles in. So now we know you are using
Vista. Now we know you are using Windows Mail and not Outlook Express. You
will now need to migrate your former Outlook Express files to Windows Mail
so you can import them into Outlook.
