When I export my address book in to WAB file to import in to another
computer I get every address I have ever had in Outlook, even the ones
that have been deleted. It is a pain to go through the whole address
book and clean it up. How can I stop this from happening?
I friend gave me his old computer and I used it for a while and when I
exported the address I got all his old address too that had been
deleted. So not I have double trouble! My deleted ones and his showing
up.
I know this sounds strange but it is happening. I delete the addressed
the usual way click the name and click delete. Should I be holding
down the control key or some thing?

Help!
