Transferring Wab to 2nd computer

[Guest franktee]

Hi all

No sure if this is the correct forum for this question.

Lost all my Windows address book contacts, due to clean install on 2nd

computer.

Appreciate advice on how to transfer them from my other computer, short of

retyping all the email addresses one at a time.

Thanks in advance.

It may be better to post in a newsgroup for your email program but all

I have done with Outlook Express is use File-Export-Address Book-Text

File (CSV) and use File-Import on the other computer using the .CSV

file

Open Address Book.

Select File menu > Export > Windows Address Book.

 

You can then save it as a .wab type file.

You are correct - this is the WRONG forum.

 

Ask elsewhere

And *you* are in the *wrong* universe. Go elsewhere. Obviously your

medication isn't working.

name the file and export it to floppy, flashdrive, whatever.

 

Import the file using the other PC address book.
