shutting down/reopening Outlook but no joy. Any suggestions gratefully
received. Thanks, chrissyd.

Odd. The Microsoft server doesn't seem to carry this.

Thanks for this - found the WAB files in Contacts under 'myfolder' and have
been able to group into subfolders before importing them into Outlook 2007.
Might not be the most elegant way to pull through 7 sub folders of addresses
but seems to work. Thanks again, chrissyd.
