How to coordinate wab, pab, contacts, and pst's?
I am converting a roaming profile to a local profile and am loosing contacts.
Sometimes I find personal address books (pab), othertimes I find windows address books (wab), and always contacts. I need a reliable method to combine all these types of "address books" in one--hopefully contacts. Thanks for your replies. |

How to coordinate wab, pab, contacts, and pst's?
Outlook has never used a wab. It has not used a pab for years. It only uses
Contacts. Which are you using? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Al" wrote in message ... I am converting a roaming profile to a local profile and am loosing contacts.

How to coordinate wab, pab, contacts, and pst's?
I found a pab on one computer with a current date/time stamp, and a wab on
another with a current date/time stamp. Users are using Outlook 2002. When I migrated the pab user off roaming profiles their contacts/address book disappeared. I have not been able to successfully get it back. If they add a user to contacts it shows up in the address book, but then cannot be selected when adding email addresses using the "To:" button. The local profile folder in their identity folder was stored on the local drive, not on the network profile drive, so it should have been seemless.

So are contacts stored in their pst file?

Outlook Express uses that. Outlook 2002 can use the PAB, but you'd be better off using the Contacts folder. You can import the PAB into the Contacts folder. -- Brian Tillman |
