Firstly I asked the wrong question, I meant my Bookmarks, not Address Book.

I want to copy my Bookmark file from a Win 7 OS computer to a Mac Desktop running Mac OS X Ver. 10.6.7 so I have the same bookmarks. Can this be done?

I do this between Microsoft OS computers by copying places.sqlite and places.sqlite-journal from one computer to the other, overwriting the the original 'places.sqlite' files on the receiving computer.

Thanks

You can do the same when copying between Windows and Mac. There is no need to copy places.sqlite-journal

The places.sqlite file is the same format on Windows, Mac and Linux and can be copied between the different operating systems.
