Address Book

[Nigel Taylor]

Is it possiable or can anybody point me in the right direction for how to
read an address book in an ASP page. I currently have a .wab file with over
2000 address and would like these in a database which i have set up but does
anybody know how to read the WAB file.

Thanks in advance

WAB files can be exported to CSV, if that's any help.

Yes, I agree with Adrienne. There is no a direct way to read a wab file.
You may first export it to a csv file in Outlook express and then open the
CSV file with ADO and Jet. For example:

cn1.Open "Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt;" _
& " *.csv)};dbq=C:\...\;Extensions=asc,csv,tab,txt;"

rs1.Open "select * from TextFile.csv",cn1,adOpenStatic,adLockReadOnly


Hope this help
