Outlook Express 6 address book won't export
View Folders and Groups is checked. Yes, I created this address book.
Yes, I have read the info. Nothing seems to apply. Jim Pickering wrote: On the Address Book menu, have you clicked View/Folders and Groups?

Outlook Express 6 address book won't export
Well, I'm still stumpted since I've tried to replicate the problem on a XP
box w/o success. The only potential other problem that came to mind was if you were accessing this WAB file from a CD or some other type of stored media, rather than having it physically present on your hard drive. If so, that would explain why you cannot move the file information, e.g., all files on a CD and certain other media are usually marked "Read-Only" when they are created and you must copy the file to a location on your hard drive, then right click it selecting Properties and clear the Read-Only attribute. Good luck and I'm still trying to see if anyone else is having a similar problem. -- Jim Pickering MVP-Outlook Express/Windows Mail wrote in message ups.com... Jim, I really appreciate this.

Outlook Express 6 address book won't export
I was talking about exporting from within IE (File Export Address Book
Text File ...). That always seems to get the current identiity's entries. Typing "wab /a" from Start Run and then exporting gets everything, mixed together. Typeing just "wab" and then exporting gets the current identity's entries, just like doing it from within IE. Nothing I've tried produces only the Shared Contacts entries as you previously described.

Want to run that past me again? Using Internet Explorer to export? Sure,
for favorites, cookies and with IE7, RSS feeds, but I don't remember a choice to export an Address Book.

Outlook Express 6 address book won't export
Sorry, I meant OE rather than IE. Sometimes my fingers don't type what
I'm thinking -- and now I think I see what I missed before. You were talking about contacts within folder and groups, as distinct from ungrouped contacts, right? I don't use folders or groups, so I wasn't able to detect any behavior specific to them. I did read the page you referenced, but saw nothing related to export there.

That suggests you did not bother to read the info at the link I posted earlier: http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm I was talking about exporting from within IE (File Export Address Book Text File ...). That always seems to get the current identiity's entries. Typing "wab /a" from Start Run and then exporting gets everything, mixed together. Typeing just "wab" and then exporting gets the current identity's entries, just like doing it from within IE. Nothing I've tried produces only the Shared Contacts entries as you previously described. -- Gary L. Smith Columbus, Ohio |

Outlook Express 6 address book won't export
OK, just a simple misunderstanding. Folders and Group neither export nor
import unless they are also in the Shared Contacts folder. For users with several identities who get new computers and want all the contacts they had before don't really understand why their folder and groups, keyed to specific identities, do not export nor import for them. Thanks for the feedback. -- Jim Pickering "Gary Smith" wrote in message ... Sorry, I meant OE rather than IE. Sometimes my fingers don't type what I'm thinking -- and now I think I see what I missed before. You were talking about contacts within folder and groups, as distinct from ungrouped contacts, right? I don't use folders or groups, so I wasn't able to detect any behavior specific to them. I did read the page you referenced, but saw nothing related to export there. Jim Pickering wrote: Want to run that past me again? Using Internet Explorer to export? Sure, for favorites, cookies and with IE7, RSS feeds, but I don't remember a choice to export an Address Book. If you want to get a copy of all contacts in Folders and Groups, you must make sure they also appear in the Shared Contacts folder.
