Re: Importing .pab address book

Hi Robert,
Thank yoiu very much for your input on this issue. Although I have been
unable to add the Microsoft Exchange PAB option, Michael's 'Plan B' worked
just fine!
Thanks again.

Hi.
In answer to your questions:
1. Windows XP, Version 5.1(Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254:Service
Pack
2)
2. No. I do have registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4
but I do not have a DWORD named UseOutlook.

See Michael's reply.

1. Windows version?

2. Is OL 2003 configured to share contacts with Address Book?...

• Do you have this Registry key?...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4

• If not, STOP; If so, is there a DWORD named UseOutlook (NB: no space)
and
is its value set to 1 (one)?

• If not, STOP; If so, Address Book is configured to share contacts with
Outlook. Change the value to 0 (zero) and all should be well. (If that
DWORD is not present, don't create it, and don't alter any other DWORD
values.)

Note that any changes (additions, deletions, edits) made while sharing
was
enabled will not be available (displayed) in Address Book when sharing is
disabled.

I am trying to import a Personal Address Book in to Outlook Express 6.
The
.pab file was created by Outlook 2003. I understand that to import a
.pab
file in to OE one has to click on File, Import, Other Address Book
then
select Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book. The problem I have is
that
the option "Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book" does not appear
in
the
list of options!
Can anyone please advise?
