Hey,

How do you enable a .WAB file into outlook 2003 so you can use it as a
addressbook in '03?

Outlook has never used WAB files. You can only import a WAB file to your
Contacts Folder by importing from Outlook Express.

Oh? okay.

Maybe I should say then:

How do I get the contact list in Outlook '03 to be shown as Outlook
addressbook?

You just asked the same question. The answer remains the same. Outlook
cannot use the Windows Address Book. You remain free to import those
Contacts if you want them to appear in Outlook.

Never mind. Now I see you are asking the opposite question. No Outlook
version since the long defunct IMO mode has permitted sharing with the WAB.
You can re-enable it with a reg hack:

Note, that for later versions you may have to hack a different key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4

Nevermind. I guess I can't get my point across.
