I have Vista on a new desktop but am running Outlook 2000. I've just
installed it and am now trying to set my first appointment. When I hit Save
and Close it says and error occured while trying to open the address
book-Unable to find the WAB-DLL. What in the world does this mean? How do I
fix this? I'm hoping that this is not a Vista-Outlook compatability issue.

Help!
Thanks,
Leah

Outlook 2000 is not compatible with Vista. If you change the installation
to Corporate/Workgroup mode, however, it may work. See the "Outlook and
Vista" section (scroll down a way) on http://www.slipstick.com/ . It may
also work if you copy the appropriate WAB DLLs to
%WinDir%\System32. See http://www.poremsky.com/howto/vista_wab.htm
