I have just bought a new computer with Windows Vista. My old computer is Windows XP. Both have Microsoft Outlook 2003. How can I copy my e-mail address book from my old computer to the new one?
Thanks

From XP help and support:

"The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard helps you move your data files and personal settings from your old computer to your new one, without having to go through much of the same configuration you did with your old computer. For example, you can take your personal display properties, folder and taskbar options, and Internet browser and e-mail settings from your old computer and place them on the new one. The wizard will also move specific files or entire folders, such as My Documents, My Pictures, and Favorites. Passwords are not moved with program settings when you use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. This is a feature of the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard that helps to keep your passwords confidential.

To open the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.

Copy your address book file to a USB Memory Stick.
Search Drive C:\ for *.wab.
You can then either search for the location in Vista and replace it with your file or do an import "contacts" from within Outlook.
