I have a canon multipass printer that I use to send faxes. The multipass
software the printer comes with has a link to the outlook express address
book to obtain fax phone numbers.

I recently started using outlook and have built a rather large contact file
and want to map my faxing software to the outlook contact file instead of the
outlook express address book (.wab extension), however, I can't find the
contact file and don't know what the extension is..... Reading several of
the threads it appears the address book and contact file are completely
different and unrelated.
 
Your question must be directed to the manufacturers of your printer. If it
does not say it supports Outlook, it doesn't.
The file extension is not in play here.
 
The software I referred to allows me to link it to an address book of my
choice and provides me a browse bar so that I may map the location of the
address file (*.wab). However, I can't seem to find the address or contact
file for Outlook- Can you tell me where it is so I can map it to my fax
software.

All Outlook data is stored in the same place: an Exchange server, for
Exchange accounts, or a PST for other account types. The "address book" for
Outlook is just a view of the Contacts folder(s) stored in the PST(s) or the
mailbox. You can have multiple PSTs and multiple Contacts folders in those
PSTs, all of which will show up in the address book, if you so choose.
 
Even knowing the location of the Outlook Data file won't help. Unless this
software has the ability to access full MAPI transports, it will never be
able to access your Contacts just by directing it to the Outlook Data file.
Does the documentation say it supports Outlook?
