Thank you for your reply, I did it the way I did as I was advised
previously that I needed to do it from Outlook for the Addresses and
OE for messages.
I had a look at Export from OE but I couldn't understand what I was
exporting to Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book or Text File?

Export from OE to Outlook. Outlook uses the Contacts folder for
adding or amending information. There is no actual Address Book -
it is a virtual view of your contacts folder for people who have an
electronic address (email or fax).

it
