Default Whey doesn't Outlook 2000 address book work in Vista?

I am using Visa Ultimate. I just installed Office 2000. When I try to open
Outlook Address Book I get the error message, "An error occurred while
attempting to open the Windows Address Book. Unable to find the WAB DLL." Any
suggestions on how to fix that?

Vista is compatible only with Outlook 2003 or later. If you install Outlook
2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode you can avoid the WAB issue, but there likely
will be other issues.

Thanks Brian. I was afraid it would be something like that.
