Personal address book in Outlook 2000
We are still using the Personal Address Book in Outlook
2000, but need to export it as a text file for another program. I understand that to do that we will need to import the Personal Address Book into Contacts. Is that the only way, and will that destroy our Personal Address Book? |

Personal address book in Outlook 2000
Hard to say. PAB's have been deprecated and have not been in general use for
at least 6 years, so I'm not sure anyone can even still check for you. Importing the PAB into Contacts will not destroy the PAB. It may be a good time to do so anyway, since the Outlook Address Book has replaced the PAB and it's not certain how long backwards compatibility with PAB's well be retained. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "tessavance" wrote in message ...

You can use it as the data source for a mail merge in Word, using the
catalog format to generate a comma- or tab-delimited file. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "tessavance" wrote in message ...

But Contacts is hideously bloated when all we need are
the email addresses that we use frequently. -----Original Message----- Hard to say.
