Jim,

Thanks, again. There is no folder I wish to copy. There is a group with
307 addresses in it. It is listed under Shared Contacts as one item.
The only way I can access any of the addresses is to double click on
the item, i.e., the group name, to show the properties window.

Does that help?

Tom

Bruce,

If only I could. I'm copying out of the list's Properties window, which
is modal and doesn't seem to be actually copying to the Windows

Bruce,

Good suggestion.

Here's what Jim says:

"Don't try dragging the info anywhere, instead
highlight all the entries in the Folder (Ctrl+A), then copy them to
the
clipboard (Ctrl+C), then go to the Shared Contacts folder and paste
them all
in (Ctrl+V). You will have to OK each entry, but it beats typing
them
all
in. Then export it."

Well, Shared Contacts doesn't show as a folder; it shows as a little
open book icon. And there's nowhere to paste anything. I tried
clicking
in the list of names, which contains my list name and nothing
else--i.e., no individual contacts.

And a weird thing: I searched by computer with a file find program
and
it found a *shortcut* to a non-existent Excel .csv file that had
supposedly been created half an hour earlier--when I had supposedly
exported my list--but neither it nor Windows could find the file.

I did this. I just get the same window that I get from inside

when I click on the list name, it opens up and shows me the

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.

Frank,

Thanks for trying.

I did this. I just get the same window that I get from
inside
OE,
and
when I click on the list name, it opens up and shows me
the
members
(arranged in small columns), but ctl-A does not work. I
can
select
the
addresses by clicking and shift-clicking, but when I
ctl-C,
it
doesn't
give me anything.

It's incredibly frustrating. I can *see* all the members
when
I
open
the list, but I can't *do* anything with them (except,
of
course,
email
them from OE, which is exactly not what I want to do.

Jim,

I'm sorry, but I don't follow this.

You do mean double clicking on the folder from within
OE,
right?
The
mailing list exists as a group ("Oasis") in the
Shared
Contacts
folder.
I can see the names but can't copy/paste.


No. By double clicking the WAB file.
or go to Start | Run and type
wab /all

You have to select an contact and then press Ctrl-A.

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.

When I export addresses from IE6 (SP1 on W2K), I get the current
identity's entries, not those from Shared Contacts. Does this vary from
one version of IE to another, or are there different methods that
produce
different results?

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. That suggests you did not bother to read the info at the
link I posted earlier:

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.

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.
