I goofed but it worked anyway
Authored by: barryjaylevine on Sep 13, '02 11:33:07AM

I misread the original post and, instead of renaming the folder, I simply renamed the file (from Addressbook.data to AddressbookZZZ.data). I placed my old Addressbook folder in the same location as spec'd in the original post and, when I launched the app, it automatically imported all of my addresses and names (if names existed for those entries). I then quit the app and deleted the AddressbookZZZ.data file as a new Addressbook.data had been created.

THANK YOU for the tip!
