Hi Jeff,

I did what you told me, exported and imported, and found the named .mdb
file, however, when I tried to open it, it appeared to be a empty form. Do
you know what happend? and where goes my data? Thank you for reply.

Hey,

When you export the address book name the file c:\vivian.txt
Then open access and import the above file

text file, but when I opened the database, there's no form in it. It's waired.
