| 800936 | 2009-08-14 02:10:00 | After reinstall of Windows XT Prof (all HD saved under 'old data') I have reinstalled Outlook 2003. Thanks to a previous post I have my pst file back and I am now looking for the address book file. Could someone enlighten me on where to look for it. What is its extention? Thanks david | DavidW (532) | ||
| 800937 | 2009-08-14 03:07:00 | IIRC it uses a .csv extension.. | Blam (54) | ||
| 800938 | 2009-08-14 04:01:00 | Thanks blam6 but that extention seems to be an excel extention. | DavidW (532) | ||
| 800939 | 2009-08-14 04:12:00 | I think its a .NK2 file that is the address cache. It should be sitting in C:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\outlook just occurred to me that this is not what you are looking for? |

| 800940 | 2009-08-14 04:29:00 | The address book is contained within contacts within your pst file. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 800941 | 2009-08-14 04:50:00 | Great ronyville I had to delete the empy address book that was opening in outlook. Then copied the contents of 'c:\olddata\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\outlook' to C:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\outlook Re started the computer and the old address book was there. Thanks |

Thanks Good, I have 100 users at work and everytime I replace a PC I have to copy the address cache from the old pc to the new ones..... cos the users are so bloody lazy to go into the contact section and create contacts. They find the drop down address cache far more easier to use. Also you didnt have to copy everyting... just the file that had the .NK2 extension |

| 800944 | 2009-08-14 09:01:00 | In mine it seems to be sitting in C:\documents and settings\username\application data\microsoft\address book The address book shows as an open book icon and there is a wab~ file associated with it Anyway that's what I am backing up and will be alarmed if I am relying on the wrong thingy !! :horrified Misty |
