For some reason they stop doing that and they move it to a Wizard. File > Wizards > AddressBook Datasource Wizard On windows enviroment Outlook is shown as an option to import the data. After doing that you will have your datasource in a dbf but it also ask you to set up which database to hold the datasource since 2.0 is comptabile to Access it might be possible to select that as a datasource through a ODBC connection. I do suggest however to choose a different database like MySQL or HSQL. -- Alexandro Colorado
