If you downloaded KB911567 and then lost your Address Book download the
following patch to correct the problem. Your AB should then be viewable and
an import not needed.

Patch KB918651:
http://tinyurl.com/mx3r2

This patch addresses some of the issues that were caused by KB911567.

Address Book problems.
Unsent templates appearing as sent.
Manually compacting will now reset the registry counter to Zero in
WinXP/SP2.

To complete the fix for .eml templates, a registry change is needed. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918766

Tom Koch also has this information at his site, along with a downloadable
Zip file to do the registry change for you. See:

Thanks Bruce. Yep, I import via the Address Book, and yep I unselected
"read
only." I get the error message: "An error occurred during the import
process. The import process could not be completed."

Thanks From Scotty23

First, right click on the backup and remove the Read Only attribute.

Just opening OE and trying to import won't work. Open OE and then *open*
the
Address Book. File | Import | Address Book (wab).

After uploading an update, my Address Book dumped. I have a back up,
but
get
an error message that the import did not happen. I don't believe my
.wab
file is NOT corrupted as I have two copies on two different media. Can
anyone help?
