Go to START > RUN > type wab and press enter
Your address book prog. should be started .. then go to FILE > EXPORT > Addressbook (WAB) and then select a location of your choice.

Cool

While we're on subject. I've exported mine and burnt to a CD. I have another PC that I use to test with. I've tried to Import the address bool to that PC (address book on that PC is currently empty) and it just comes up with a error. It like this one is running IE6 and the file type is wab

Any ideas on why it won't import.

Usually, when exchanging Address book in the same format (OE to OE), I dont bother with imports and exports at all. Try this:
close any program using the addressbook (OE for example), then go to :
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Addressbook\
with Windows Explorer .. .you should find two files - username.wab and username.wa~; simply copy the .wab file to your other computer, and place it in the same location (if you are going to use the exact same address book) - or double click to open it.
