Canon has a dialing directory built into their faxing software. It
looks exactly the same as the WAB looks only it is not the same.

The way I send faxes is to have the document open and select "Print"
Windows then shows me a list of printers. Canon fax is one of the
options. It gives me a list of names and I can store the numbers
there. The problem with using the software this way is, the address
book that comes up will only allow you to add or delete entries. It
won't allow you to edit the entries.

If I just run wab.exe I get the address book, but the address book it
uses is not the same as the one Canon uses.

Does anyone know of a way to edit the Canon version of the address
book?

I called Canon support actually, and they said that it was an XP
problem. I knew I would not be calling Micro$oft.

I found my answer though. I was searching for .wab and found no
matches. I tried to change the name of the address book and found the
file was in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application
Data\Canon\MP5\Administrator.wab

I just don't understand why I did not find the file using a regular
search, but I got it going now.

Thanks

WAB files are hidden files by default in WinXP.
