Vista - EXPORTING CONTACTS

Re: EXPORTING CONTACTS

SUCCESS! (from your previous post).
I suspect I have some instability in my system (O/S perhaps?). I tried your
suggestion below 4 times before it worked. And for some reason, while it
'saved' the option to Contacts, it sometimes jumps back to Documents and all
of the Contacts options no longer display - until I put it back.

In any event, I've exported the address book, and this thread is at a
successful conclusion.
My thanks to those who offered help.

Toyman
