If you can open it in Outlook Express, you can export it to your Outlook
Contacts folder....and you should use Contacts for all your addresses in
Outlook.
2 - And, anyone know if fields can be added to Windows Address Book?
No.

be?

OE use WAB - Outlook doesn't. There's no NG for WAB - but there are
newsgroups for Outlook Express....

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x

The WAB shows the data you've entered in Outlook Express. You can export it
to an Outlook .pst file with OE's File | Export | Addresses.
