I'm having difficulty importing address book information from a
compaq laptop to my fathers iBook G4 (10.4.1). The addresses are in
.wab format, and I cannot figure out how to transfer this list of
addresses into the apple address book because it will not read .wab
files. The original program will export one address at a time in
vcard format, but no more than one, and I don't have time to copy 300
some addresses one at a time.
The program name is elusive, it only says "Address Book" in the title
bar, and my dad thinks it's part of the MS work suite, but is
uncertain.
.wab is an Outlook Express address book extension for exported files.
There are probably AppleScripts to do this translation/conversion/merge
at:
<http://scriptbuilders.net/>
<http://www.macscripter.net/>
Especially look for scripts by:
Paul Berkowitz, on those sites or at his .Mac account page
<http://homepage.mac.com/berkowit28/>. He has scripts that work with
Outlook Express (and Entourage all versions) and other apps.
And Allen Watson, at those sites or
<http://homepage.mac.com/allen_a_watson/AppleScripts_For_You>. You'll
find his Outlook Express scripts there.
Hope that helps.
