But Brandon, if that file already exists, which it does, then what's the point of using this function from within OE or Outlook? I don't mean I'm against it; let's not start arguing. I'm really asking, is this just sort of a convenience for someone who doesn't know how to do file management in Windows? Sort of? I still don't get the way in which the word "export" is being used, frankly. The intuitive thing is to think that must mean something about sending a copy of the address book to another email program so you don't have to recreate it if you're beginning to use another email program that doesn't work the same way, or something. Anybody know what I'm asking? Sorry if it's not well phrased. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon B" <serrebi101@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 11:31 AM Subject: Re: Saving address book in outlook express basicly you get a save as dialogue where you can specify where to put the file so you can back it up.
