my friend is leaving aol and going dsl. he is going to use outlook express for his emails.

Not to my knowledge...

I have been using AOL since version 2.5...they now (ver. 7) store all address book information for a user on the AOL servers in order that you don't have to 'save/replace' the information in the event of an uninstallation or complete format of your system...

As with most things and AOL...they make it virtually impossible to use any files created from their software with any other application...

Try a search for a shareware/freeware (3rd party) program that might be able to do what you need...

I would suggest that you just spend the time needed to re-enter the information from your AOL address book into your OE book...

It would be my guess that AOL would not be able (or should I say willing) to assist in accomplishing this...

thks for all your help. i think putting the address book in manually will be my best option.

No problem...I think that would be your best option because...in my experience...a lot of 3rd party applications do not convert/format information the way you would like it...

By entering the information manually...it will be formatted the way you want it the first time around and you won't have to go in a check/make alterations to each entry...
