Outlook Address Book - stumped

[meldrape]

I have a text file exported from a .wab file that I need to create a new .wab file from. How do I go about doing this? I have a user who had a virus and lost his address book but happened to have a text file of it. When I import it into Outlook or Outlook Express, the addresses show up just fine but I can't find a tangible .wab file to send back to him. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. He is elderly and for some reason can't deal with text files. I know... don't ask. I'm just trying to help him get back on track where he can email again. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip on repairing the .wab file. I ended up renaming my address book, importing the text file and renaming it. Then renamed mine back to administrator. It worked.

Thanks again.
