David, this reminds me of a related question. I am unsure if I even saved the file correctly, so I will tell you what happened, short course. When I had a previous computer I exported my Outlook address book to a CD. Now, when I try to retrieve it, the message says something like, do I want to import this address book? Doing so might damage the operating system. That's what I'm afraid of. Was this address book improperly saved and, therefore, irretrievable?
Isn't it amazing how there is just enough news each day to fill the newspapers?
