Hi group
I'm setting up my wife's new computer which is an xp media center. I
exported her address book as a .wab file burned to a cd from her old 98 2nd
edition computer, also using oe6. When I put the cd into the new computer
and hit file>import>address book and select the file on the cd I get a
message "an error occurred during the import process- the import process
could not.....". I'm also facing an impossible task importing her old
messages after having saved the .dbx files. thanks for the help.
Regards,
Mike

before importing.
