Backup Address Book in Outlook 2003

[hopehavens]

I cannot find any *.pab files when I do a "search." I am trying to backup my
contacts before I reformat my computer. Where are they located?? Thanks!!!

Outlook has not used a PAB for years. All Outlook data is in one file. The
file you need to back up is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where
all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
