OL98: Cannot Select Which Personal Address Book to Import

• Microsoft Outlook 98

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft the Outlook 98 Import and Export Wizard to import a Personal Address Book, you cannot choose from multiple Personal Address Book files.

CAUSE

The Import and Export Wizard only recognizes the Personal Address Book installed in your current profile. Each profile may only have one Personal Address Book service.

MORE INFORMATION

You may only have one Personal Address Book per profile. To import from another Personal Address Book file, you must remove the first Personal Address Book service from your profile and add the new Personal Address Book as a service to your profile. With the new Personal Address Book as a profile service, the Import and Export Wizard recognizes it as a valid import source.

If you remove the Personal Address Book from your active profile, it is no longer an import option. Outlook provides no method for importing one Personal Address Book into another.
