Default Importing Address Book to Outlook from a CD.

Good afternoon,

I have recently had to have my computer totally rebooted after a virus
infected it. As a result I had to backup all my work on a CD. Before the
re-boot I exported and saved my address book to the CD. I have now created a
new Microsoft Outlook account and have imported my address book into the
Windows XP "Address Book" found under the "Accessories" menu from the "Start"
button. However, I am unable to synchronize my Address Book with Outlook, as
when I click "New Mail" and click the "To:" button, my list of contacts are
nowhere to be seen. Could anybody help me with my problem? Thank You!

In what format did you backup the address book/contacts? The WinXP 'address
book' is part of Outlook Express not Outlook so I'm curious the path you
took from Point A (working Outlook) to Point B (OE's address book)

Hi there, I opened up "Address Book" from the start menu, and clicked on
"File" "Export" "Address Book" and then saved the file to a folder which
I then copied onto a disc. I file I wrote to the CD and it just said "Address
Book File" - that's the type, in case that helps. Sorry I can't tell you
anymore...

What version of Outlook were you using prior to the reinstall?

Hmmm... OL2002 didn't share with OE normally but it could work

I'd export from there to either a CSV or PAB (Personal Address Book file
then import in Outlook.
