Ok, I've recovered the file using Brian Kato's Restoration Undelete
program and verified that it generates the exact same original error
when put back where it was.
Copied the corrupted file to my system, renamed it to <myusername>.wab
and tried to open the address book in OE -- generates the same error
message. Ran WabMail.
WabMail gives...
=====================================================================
"Error while opening the Address Book file. Check if the selected file
has a valid WAB-format.
Error code: -2147467259
Error message: Unspecified error"
=====================================================================
Under Tools, "Run Address Book Export Tool" is greyed out [probably
because WabMail can't open the corrupted address book.]
I'll try some of the other suggestions and report which work(s).
Cheers,
Larry
