Outlook PST files are a law unto themselves. However, I nearly have a solution: 1. If you open the Outlook Address Book, you can select all the contacts in one folder, right-click and choose Copy to Personal Folder. That copies the records to a .PAB file, which Outlook Express can partially understand. 2. You can then start Outlook Express and choose to import from the Personal Address book that is associated with my Outlook profile. 3. Outlook Express 5.5 has an option to export the information to a Windows Address Book. 4. You can use WAB2LDIF to convert the Windows Address Book to something that TB can understand. Unfortunately, Outlook Express has a bug in its import from PAB routine -- it doesn't import the snail-mail addresses, notes, or telephone numbers. So, this information never makes it to the WAB file. Since most of my listed contacts have telephone numbers, addresses, etc., for me, this route is less useful than doing the transfer with individual vCards. However, anyone who is replacing Outlook with TB and who only wants names and email addresses in their TB address book should find the above process useful. Now, if only I can find some way of getting OE5.5 to import the telephone numbers etc... -- Geoff Lane Cornwall, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ________________________________________________________ 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
