You can use utility from The Bat! programmers called WAB2LDIF. It loads WAB (Windows Address Book) files and can export them to LDIF format, which can be imported to TB without problems. You can download it from here for example: ftp://ftp.gin.cz/pub/mswindows/the_bat/utilities/wab2ldif.exe (200 kB) -- Marek Mikus Czech Support of The Bat! http://www.thebat.ipex.cz -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
