Recover address book

[Greg12]

Is their any way to recover an address book.

I have the file that when I open it in Notebad, I see Outlook personal address book.

When I changed from Windows 98 to Windows XP I had to manually retrieve my address book.

All I did was copy the address book file from its location in 98 to the new location in XP.

In XP the address book is located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\XXX.wab where xxx is your user/computer name.

In 98 the address book is located at: C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\xxx.wab

Hope that helps
