IDEA: Export Outlook Express contacts as VCF
« on: December 28, 2006, 08:43 AM »
I am trying to export my Windows Address Book (WAB file) so that all of the 400+ entries will be exported as separate VCF files. Outlook Express (v6.00.2900) will not allow me to export all of them as VCF at one time.
I have a very crude macro (see below) that exports each entry and then deletes that entry. I get it to repeat for the amount of entries in the WAB.
Can anyone help me with a much better intuitive way to export my WAB as:
1) Separte VCF files and
2) One combines VCF file (with all the 400+ entries as one VCF file)

WinWait, Address Book - (C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Desktop\wab.WAB), T&ype name or select
IfWinNotActive, Address Book - (C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Desktop\wab.WAB), T&ype name or select, WinActivate, Address Book - (C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Desktop\New Folder\wab.WAB), T&ype name or select
WinWaitActive, Address Book - (C:\Documents and Settings\Me\Desktop\wab.WAB), T&ype name or select
Loop 400
{
    Send, {ALTDOWN}f{ALTUP}eb
    Send, {ALTDOWN}s{ALTUP}
    Send, {ALTDOWN}f{ALTUP}d
    Send, {ALTDOWN}y{ALTUP}
}
