copying address book file

[austinh]

I have a user who has a shared database addressbook. They need to bring that addressbook over to another pc. I wanted to know what file I need to copy to bring it over to the other pc. Can someone please help.

You need to copy names.nsf which should be located right in the notes\data folder.

Just to make sure this is correct. I know that the names.nsf copies the regular addressbook. but would the copy over the shared database addressbook as well?

Not sure what you mean by shared now, but if you go into the database folder and right click - properties on your "shared address book" you can find out the name of the db and wether or not the db is local or on a server. If it is local you can copy it from the data folder, if it is on another notes server then all you should need to do is do a database open on the other pc.
