What version of Windows are you using?

Is the PC set up on a LAN?

Where is the address book located? If you open the address book and
select Help, About Address Book it will show the full file name. If the
file is located in another user's My Documents you may need to move it
to the limited user's My Documents or Shared Documents.

I am using Windows XP home.

The PC is set up on LAN.

I exported the address book to a Shared Documents folder on computer A. I
am trying to get OE working on computer B. I will try to copy it to computer
B in the user where I need it to be.

I have already looked at those help sites, but I will review them again.

Thank you for your help, and hopefully I'll have success.
