This is a long one. I have two computers, one is running
Win ME updated to XP Home. On it I use outlook express
for email. My address book is in outlook with the option
to share with other programs. If I don't select this I
can't see it in Express. I am trying to transfer th AB
to my new computer which is running XP PRO. I have tried
to import it, email it or copy it to disk and load it.
Everytime I do nothing appears. The properties says it
is there and has the right KB's, however when I open it
instead of seeing one folder that is labeled contacts I
have two, shared contacts and one with my name on it.
Nothing apears in either of these folders. I have tried
to delete express on the new computer it won't let me and
anytime I try to delete the address book from the
settings folder it reappears when I empty the recycle
bin. Any ideas?
Thanks
Larry
 
Exactly what are you trying to export?
Outlook does not use an address book. It uses a PST file that contains all
Outlook data in one file.
