No wab files to backup?

[Roger C.]

Hi:

Running XP home with Office XP.

I've noticed that while I have a list of contacts in outlook, there are no
*.wab files to backup. How do you back up the contacts if there are no
outlook wab files?

Did I miss something while installing? Also, if my contacts are not being
saved in wab extenstion, then how am I to back them up? Also, where are these
contacts being saved? I'd like to know so I can backup that file. Is there a
way to find where these are stored?

The import/export option doesn't allow saving in outllok format.

Thanks

Contacts are a folder within your pst file. You can either backup your pst
file in its entirety, or export your contacts to another pst file, or csv
file if you ant to use them in Excel, for example.

Outlook does not use the Windows Address Book. See
