Thank you for that suggestion, too. I tried to repair OE but was
unable to do so using methods described in MS KB articles and
elsewhere. (I do home PC repairs as a small business, so you would
think I could manage such a simple task.) I won't consume even more
bandwidth describing my ineffective efforts, as we're way off topic
already.
My search for a freeware program to recover addresses from a corrupted
address book are more to prepare for the next time it happens. As I
mentioned earlier, my client's problem was solved by deleting the old
address book and re-generating addresses from e-mails in various
folders. My next client may not have a many e-mails to use.
Thanks again for your helpfulness, and that of the others who replied.
This is truly an excellent group and I browse it every day.
Cheers,
Larry
