SYMPTOMS

When you try to export your address book with the Text File (Comma Separated Values) option, your address book may appear to have been successfully exported, but you may be unable to find the corresponding text (.txt) file for your address book.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if your address book contains no entries. A .txt file is not created when you export an empty address book.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
