importing addressbook from Outlook Express

[ricardor]

i am trying to import a W98 Outlook address book,
abook.nab (saved on Zip disk)into WinXP Outlook Express

Using the Files transfer wizard, I selected "dont need to
create Wizard disk, already have file collected" (on Zip
disk) and selected Zip as source of file to transfer.

I then get an instruction to "Insert Disk 1" but dont
understand this, what is "Disk 1??" I have no idea.

I insert my Zip disk and get told this is the wrong disk!!

Can anyone help please.

abook.nab is NOT an Outlook address book. Its a Netscape one. You need
to use netscape to export it to a ldif file and then import (I think -
or you could try Dawn)
