import wab in outlook express 6

[ghost78]

i have backed up my address book as a wab file before i had to reformat last week.

When I go to import the file it dose not seem to recognize the wab file on the cd

so i copied it to the desktop, but it still dose not find the wab file on the desk top.

any ideas how I can restor this file?


thanks

Have you removed the read-only attribute from it?

[ghost78]

yes, i did. It seems to be almost as if the file that I exported is empty.
172 kb. dose that seem to small toi have 200 addresses?

when i opened the file (befor i formated) it had all the names on it

but now when i open it no names come up.
when I say open it i am refering to double clicking the icon and runing it b/c it seems to be saved as an exe file when I view the properties.

but it is named wab

Yep, it's empty. You saved the wrong wab. My wab is exactly 172kb and it's empty because I don't use Outhouse Express.
