Sorry, very new to Outlook. Checked in KB. Trying to convert contacts in
Outlook 2003 into MS Exchange personal address book (.PAB) files.

Thanks for any help

Any particular reason you're trying to use a PAB? The Outlook Address Book
should already show you the addresses of contacts.

Unless import/export works, you'll need to create them yourself.

Why do you need a pab? It's outdated and won't be supported in future
versions- it was depreciated a couple of versions ago.
