Thank you .  I did try to import the address but it didn't work. I spent
quite a time trying to locate good copies from ghosted images and my other
computer when I realized there never were any contacts in Outlook Express
*.wab file.  Years ago I used Microsoft Outlook which is where my contacts
were.   I have used Outlook Express for quite awhile and whenever I went to
select a recepitent they were actually coming from Outlook.   I did not
install Outlook on this machine and thus did not have my addresses.  I ran
my other machine and got the addresses and am not setting them up in Outlook
Express.  I wonder though, I have 5 email accounts and in the address book
it defaults to the email account that is open.  Is there any way to set the
default to be the Shared addresses whenever any of the email accounts are
opened.  Thank you, Bill Patton
