address book gone after update
 

I just downloaded the suggested critical updates and
service packs for my windows 98, which included an update
of OUTLOOK EXPRESS 5 to OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6. The address
book in the new OL6 is empty. My old address book was not
put into the new one. Any way to recover this vital data?
Thanks.

Use Find to locate the .wab file which is your address book. When found open OE,
click on File Import Address book. Make sure "Files of Type" has *.wab selected,
browse to where you located yours, dbl click it, save it.

On the other hand you may want to look for "address", "book" or "address book" as
well, open the file first before importing to make sure it is the correct one and not
the empty one.
