Corrupt Address Book
Yes I know that the Folders and Groups do not export and import. They
import as a large group of addresses which I can then make Folders and assign the addresses to the correct Folder. My problem is that the Address Book will not let me make new Folders because they already exist, which I cannot see. However, doing what Ken suggested about clicking on: Start | Programs | Accessories | click AddressBook, on it's File menu choose Show All Contents. Which I do not have an Address Book in the Accessories. So I did as he suggested by going into Programs - then Outlook Express - then clicking on the Address book, which I could then click on Show All contents. This will show everything that I want, but I cannot get it to stay revealed in my Address book that I work with. They are not revealed once I click out of Programs - Outlook Express - Address book. "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... Did you do the search? You should have found a few ABs. When you try to import, are you opening the Address Book and /then/ Import | Address Book (wab)? You can't do it from the OE main window. See Ken's reply and remember that folders and groups do not export nor import. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "SayWhat" wrote in message ... I had saved a copy of my Address book, a couple of days ago. I saved it into a folder on my desktop. This address book is just exactly what I want back. I went into my programs then Outlook express and checked the address book that is in there. It is the address book that I am hoping to repair or make it to be just exactly like the one I have on my desktop folder. So the Address Book in my Programs/Outlook Express is the one that needs to be fixed. "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... Do an Advanced Search and include Hidden Files and Folders. Search for: *.wab & ~wa See what you can find and figure out. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "SayWhat" wrote in message ... Hi Bruce; My original Address book had several Folders with address in them. Now there are several Folders that appear to be missing. So I tried to recreate the Folders and I find that I am unable because a popup tells me that there is already a Folder with that name. I tried other names and got the same result. So somehow these Folders are hidden from me. I went into Control Panel - Folder Options and I noticed that show hidden Folders was checked. I unchecked it and then hit apply, then I rechecked it and hit apply, ok. However, these Folders still are there but unseen in my address book. How do I once again get these Folders to be seen, so that I can see the addresses I have in them? thank you "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Corrupt Address Book
I had saved a copy of my Address book, a couple of days ago. I saved it
into a folder on my desktop. Go to where your existing Address book is located, (user name).wab, rename it to OLD(user name).wab. Copy above saved address book on desktop to same location. This will replace existing address book with the one on your desktop. Good luck, Ken "SayWhat" wrote in message ... | I had saved a copy of my Address book, a couple of days ago.
