Hi group
I'm setting up my wife's new computer which is an xp media center. I
exported her address book as a .wab file burned to a cd from her old
98 2nd edition computer, also using oe6. When I put the cd into the
new computer and hit fileimportaddress book and select the file on
the cd I get a message "an error occurred during the import process-
the import process could not.....". I'm also facing an impossible
task importing her old messages after having saved the .dbx files.
thanks for the help. Regards,
Mike

You need to copy it to the hard drive and remve the Read Only attribute
before importing.
