Hi Dave,
         I hope you do not think I'm being "picky" but a small correction 
to your post. Outlook uses the .PST file - Outlook Express (the free one 
used by the original poster of the question) uses  .dbx files (eg. 
Inbox.dbx) usually found here:

{Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application 
Data\Identities\{052FFDD8-A4CB-46DC-A3F7-BCE82118B9B2}\Microsoft\Outlook 
Express} (of course assuming you are the Administrator - otherwise under 
{Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\etc.}

         Similarly Address book {YOUR USER NAME.WAB) is normally found here:
{D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator (or YOUR USER NAME)\Application 
Data\Microsoft\Address Book}.

         Otherwise you are correct - they have to be "imported" - you 
cannot just copy or drag them over.

         Sometimes I have posted stuff like this and some list members have 
reacted badly. The reason I have posted this is NOT to show "HOW SMART I AM 
!!" - it is to try to help someone who knows less than me - all in the 
sense of trying to be helpful. I trust that you (and them) see it that way.


Keep the revs up (or down)
