Moving Address Book from W2K Outlook 2000 to WXP Outlook 2002

[Bill]

I have a new laptop with Windows XP. I've loaded Outlook
2002. I need to move my Address Book from my old machine
that is running windows 2000 Outlook 2000. I've located,
sent and copied the outlook address file (.wab) to my new
machine harddrive, but I'm not certain what to do next.
Microsoft knowledgebase wasn't much help. Any help would
be appreciated.

Outlook does not use an address book. All your Outlook data will be in one
Personal Storage File (PST file).
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
