Is there a simple way I can export or copy my existing windows copy of the address book .WBA to my unattended disk for later installation.

Merry Christmas

If you plan to import it later, just create a folder within your $1 folder called "Junk" or whatever you'd like. Put your exported WAB into there and it should be copied to C:\Junk during install.

Can't help ya on how to automagically have it import it during install though!

Thanks dude thought it may be dropped in:

OEM\$Docs\Documents and Settings\User or All users\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

Will outlook express pick this as the default?

I don't know. Give it a try and let us know.

I dont believe thats what outlook uses.. thats windows address book that you can find under accessories start menu. Take a peek at it.. Id be willing to bet theres nothing in it.

There certainly is under "main identity contacts" & I use Outlook Express for mail.

Hrm.. I use outlook 2003 and didnt see anything in my Address Book... figured they both use the same methods for storing contacts... guess not.
