I backed up my OE6 address book to a floppy disc and got the address.wab file shown in the included SS.  When I right-clicked on that file I got a blank address book.  What am I doing wrong?

That's normal.  You can't open a .wab files.  You will have to import the address book into Outlook Express to view it.

The data is there however.  Note the size.
