hi i had the same trouble and this is what i found
james w.c. p.s. i sent this to another person and asked them to let me know
if it worked but never
heard from them , if this works for you let me know thank you



Address books are so useful that I tend to have at least five of them at any
given time. Of course, each of the five does not even have one fifth of the
usefulness of one (single) address book.

Anyway, if you want to copy your Outlook Express address book from one
computer to another, this can be done easily.

To copy your Outlook Express address book to another computer:

Select File | Export | Address Book from the menu in Outlook Express (at the
computer whose address book you want to copy).
Select Text File (Comma Separated Values).
Click on Export.
Save the exported address book with a meaningful name to a floppy disk, ZIP
drive or something similar.
Click the Next button.
Select the fields you want to include in the exported Outlook Express
address book.
Finally, click the Finish button.
Insert the storage medium with the copied Outlook Express address book into
the computer that you want to copy the address book to.
Select File | Import | Other Address Book from the menu in Outlook Express.
Make sure Text File (Comma Separated Values) is selected.
Click Import.
Select Browse.
Locate the file you exported from the other computer.
Click Open.
Click Next.
Select the fields you want to import.
Click the Finish button.
