My XP Motherboard died. I have connected my hard drive to another computer.
This hard drive is now G. I need to transfer my old address book to my new
XP computer. I went to WAB on the G drive. It points to the C drive address
book. Where are the addresses really stored? or How do I recover the old
address book on the G drive

I had read it and did not think it was what I needed. Hats off to you. It
was perfect. The new (borrowed) computer had Hidden files, which I had
turned off on my computer long ago. I could never find or search the
filename *.wab, it was hidden. Thanks for your willingness and ablility to
share your time and talents.
