My apologies if this has been covered in other threads - I did a few searches and couldn't come up with anything related...

Just wondering if there is anyway to import an address book/contacts from a PC's Outlook Express to copy into Mac's Address Book? I had saved my contacts on my Windows PC equivalent as a WAB file (the only one I thought available in Save As options) and have e-mailed this to a webbased account. I have now tried to open it on my Mac but first saved it as a binary file. When I have tried to open it (from numerous programs) it either a) doesn't open or b) is unreadable. Bear with me people. This is my first Mac (thanks iThinkMac ) But I'm just hoping this is not a completely ridiculous poser.

I have tried the same process to transfer from PC to PC and had problems too, so I'm thinking there is a way and the fact that I have a Mac is not the issue... or is it?

If you can save as a TAB delineated file, and then import that to address book. I have done this from OS 9 Outlook, but not from Windows.

Good luck.

Oi! Get your own thread, buster!



I have tried saving the addy book in all the different formats it provides options for and no luck.
