What format was the address book in that you exported? Did you export to a
format that works with OE6?
Did you (heaven forbid) export to a comma separated list in a text file?
That is an option but you do lose data that way, I learned the hard way.
Now, to import whatever you exported, just go to the file menu in OE's
message list window. The choices are self explanatory.
Let me know what other problems you have, or whether this answers the
question.
Good luck.

Hi folks.
I have exported adressbook files for Outlook Express but, for some reason,
am having difficulty with it at present. Can anyone give me a couple of
hings on what I might do to get a copy of my current address book for OE to
another computer.
Thanks.
Jerry
