MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2004.PAB file not recgonized as personal address book
I use a third party app to update the company Personal Adressbook (.PAB) in the users profile. One particular user's computer will not recgonized the uploaded .PAB file as an outlook addressbook. Any suggestions as to why this is. I really need to fix it. Thanks DJ Not sure I understand your question. A PAB is not an Outlook Address Book. PAB's have not been in use for years. When you say it is not being recognized, what do you mean?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I use a third party app to update the company Personal Adressbook (.PAB) in > the users profile.

Thanks > DJ Yeah I know they are not used very much,but my Org. uses them. I am not sure why, I am new. I know that a PAB is a personal address book We have a third party app which pulls in a .PAB from a server to the users local personal address book which is set up in the users profile. On one workstation, when I try to map the addressbook to the .pab file which is created on the hard drive by the third party app, outlook tells me that it is not a valid addressbook file. It does not even display the office icon next to the file name (it does on all other workstations). All of the other workstations work as advertised. I am sure that it has something to do with the users workstation, when the user goes to lunch I am going to try to repair the office installation. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks > > DJ The only thing that Outlook can do natively with PAB files is add them to the profile as an address book service separate from the Outlook Address Book or import them into the users Contacts Folder. Anything beyond that would be in the purview of your third party app, and I have no idea what type of "address book" it might be creating for your users. PAB's have been out of use for so long that I'm not aware of any utilities that even manage them or can repair them anymore. The best information I know of on PAB's is here: http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/olconpab.htm SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Yeah I know they are not used very much,but my Org. uses them.
