I have two PCs connected through a KVM switch. I have a comprehensive address
book in Outlook 2002 on one computer (running Windows XP Home with Office
2002 suite installed), and would like to export the address book to Outlook
Express on the other (running Windows 2000; no Office suite available). How
can I export the address book from the XP computer (via file save?) and then
import it into Outlook Express on the Windows 2000 computer? Thanks.

In Outlook on the file menu use the Import and Export command to export the
Contact folder to a CSV file. This file can be imported into Outlook Express
using File || Import Address Book.

Sorry, but that won't work. You need File>Import>Other Address Book to be
able to reference a CSV. Using your suggestion imports a WAB.
