If you change your mail support type from Internet Mail Only to Corporate or
Workgroup mode, you will find that the wab.dll issue is no longer relevant.
CW mode does not use the Windows Address Book.

After furious head scratching, Patricia asked:

| My new laptop has 7 and my old version of Office 2000 does not work.
| Seems like its ok with Word & Excel, but Outlook's phone book can't
| find a WAB.DLL file. Without a phone book the program is useless.
| Are there any fixes out there?

Can't upgrade to Office 2010 yet. It's still be tested.
