Hi Richard,
I haven't tried this. I'm almost finished entering them by hand, but I'll
keep the suggestion in mind.

Hi
Here comes a suggestion that may work. Keep in mind that I am
not at all familiar with Outlook Express.
You should be able to make a template for your address book
putting commas between each of the fields. After all the fields
have been entered into the template, end with a carriage return.
When you copy all addresses using this template, the result
should be to have a file with all fields for every record. Each
record would have a line of its own.
My experience with templates is that the BN may freeze,
especially with the Classic model because of limited memory for
the task (I presume). I found a way to work around this. I did
a series of copy commands from the Address book and appended each
to the original document. I searched for "last Name" = "A" and
so on through the alphabet. This meant 26 successive copy
commands. If your address book is large, this is still easier
than copying each address individually.
Once you have them all copied, the result should be a comma
delimited document that may work if Outlook Express imports from
such a file type.
You will have to see how many of the field names are the same.
If they are in a different order, it may be necessary to make
your template with the Outlook Express order. On the other hand,
Outlook Express may ask you to indicate the field name for the
target field.
You have nothing to lose in experimenbtation and lots to gain if
it works.
Good luck.
