Importing address book after WinXP reinstallation

PC had to be XP family reinstalled after major virus hit , but all past files were kept on backup even netscape.

Did reinstall NS 7.2 and import bookmarks OK. But for address book can only find abook.mab dated the day I crashed. NS 7.2 request *.na2 for import address book

can you help

 

If you have not saved the address book as .ldif file, you will have to copy the backup abook.mab file and paste it into the profile's slt folder .
The pasted file should replace what you have. Do this with Netscape closed.

 

Well, tried this solution with NS close, put the file in profile folder ( but there is no .slt fileat all) : same situation

 

Thanks WESIDE, I kept on working at it and with the help of a Ramona's help guide on the subject, I finally made it and its about was you said, I must have been in the wrong folder yesterday nignt

 

I gave the Profile location, from Ramona website, because of a lot misunderstandings. You can import the AB file from NS4.x, in which case it would be in the pba2 format, or from an address book backup, which you can do directly from the address book Tools|Export as .ldif file.
I am using several addrress books, and I have .ldif backups of each one (i.e. with their name, such as Friends.ldif, Family.ldif, etc.
Whichever way you choose, do a backup to avoid headaches.
