Is there any way to transfer my address book from one computer to another without having to re-enter every thing one at a time?

When I click on "file" it shows import & export, but they are "grayed out" and I can't access them.

Hi Betty

This shouldn't be a problem.

Have you tried doing so within your email program? Try clicking on the contacts folder, then FILE -> IMPORT/EXPORT. It shouldn't be grayed out as long as CONTACTS are selected first.

You can then email the file to the other computer.

Thanks Mike. I was trying to do all this just from the address book on my tool bar. Once I went to Outlook, I found all kinds of things to do!

I seldom use Outlook, so I'm not real familiar with it.

What kind of tool bar? From within outlook?

You can do a search for *.pab and that file will be your personal address book.
If using outlook express, it is a tad more difficult.
