Windows Address Book (wab)

[Jeff]

The Windows Address Book (*.wab) is missing and an empty
one was in its place. Is it possible that Windows
replaced it or is there some kind of other explanation?
All my old contacts were gone after I upgraded to Windows
XP Pro.

Outlook does not use the WAB. Only Outlook Express does. This is a group to
support Outlook from the Office group of programs. Outlook Express is a part
of Internet Explorer and is a quite different program despite its similar
name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
outlook express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
