What does that mean? >Where's my address book? >I'm using Eudora 5.1. The nickname directory contains any new address books you create. All of mine are new address books. I didn't have any in the original address book. I created one and then used "find" to find all files in the Eudora directory, sorted them by date and found that the main address book is named nndbase.toc and nndbase.txt the .toc file is the index and the .txt file holds the details. It's in the Eudora root directory on my computer. I use 4.0 Gene

Lee, My nicknames reside in the files "nndbase.toc" & "nndbase.txt", in the root EUDORA folder. My nickname folder is empty also.
