add new user to outlook 2000 and want to copy adress book.

[lepricaun]

hi all,
my neighbour is using outlook 2000 and got a problem:
he created a new account, and wanted to copy his adressbook from the original account to the second account, but doesn't know how.. so he asked me...

and since i've never used any version of outlook before, i can't figure it out also....

i'm pretty sure this must be a piece of cake, but i've been trying it for over an hour now, and haven't found the solution yet?
also google didn't help me a lot

Bingo. Took a few minutes. http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...601033&;CTT=98

The file ends with .pab ... the link above should help.

gee, how did you find that?? which words did you use in google????
thanks for the help, this should solve the problem

Hrmm.. I think it was: "Outlook 2003" export "address book" .PAB

I had seen a reference to the PAB extension and then remember it meant Personal Address Book. Adding that helped me find it.

thanks, but the problem was that i didn't know of the .PAB file
so couldn't search for that
