microsoft outlook export address book

[Guest glennis]

when i try to export my address book from outlook in the csv format i get a

message saying i havent set up the import/export feature. when i choose to

proceed it asks me for a windows 2000 professional disk. When i check the

registration # under the help tab it's giving me an old product # from a

previous incarnation of the software on this computer. Can i just use the

windows xp disc to install the correct version of outlook without

compromising all my other programs etc.

1st. You are in the wrong forum. This is for 64-bit Windows.

 

2nd. You need to look for the a Windows 2000 forum,

microsoft.public.win2000.general might be a good start.

Outlook is an Office program, not XP. If you are using Office 2000 then

that is likely the disc that is requested. Or are you calling Outlook

Express by the wrong name?

no it;s definately microsoft outlook 2000 however i do have an office xp

installation disk that i'm not sure has been installed on that pc. The pc

has office installed on it but it may be the previous version which was 2000

professional. do you think i can just i nstall the office xp program and

that will solve the problem?

thanks by the way i appreciate your response

Microsoft did it again with their wacky naming scheme. Office XP indeed!
