MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006Importing Address Book to Outlook from a CD.
Good afternoon, I have recently had to have my computer totally rebooted after a virus infected it. As a result I had to backup all my work on a CD. Before the re-boot I exported and saved my address book to the CD. I have now created a new Microsoft Outlook account and have imported my address book into the Windows XP "Address Book" found under the "Accessories" menu from the "Start" button. However, I am unable to synchronize my Address Book with Outlook, as when I click "New Mail" and click the "To:" button, my list of contacts are nowhere to be seen. Could anybody help me with my problem? Thank You! In what format did you backup the address book/contacts? The WinXP 'address book' is part of Outlook Express not Outlook so I'm curious the path you took from Point A (working Outlook) to Point B (OE's address book) > Good afternoon, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > are > nowhere to be seen. Could anybody help me with my problem? Thank You! Hi there, I opened up "Address Book" from the start menu, and clicked on "File" > "Export" > "Address Book" and then saved the file to a folder which I then copied onto a disc. I file I wrote to the CD and it just said "Address Book File" - that's the type, in case that helps. Sorry I can't tell you anymore... > In what format did you backup the address book/contacts?

Thank You! What version of Outlook were you using prior to the reinstall? > Hi there, I opened up "Address Book" from the start menu, and clicked on > "File" > "Export" > "Address Book" and then saved the file to a folder [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Book File" - that's the type, in case that helps.

OL2002 didn't share with OE normally but it could work I'd export from there to either a CSV or PAB (Personal Address Book file then import in Outlook. > Microsoft Outlook 2002, and I Have reinstalled using the same version. |
