Yes, Microsoft is wonderfully un-helpful when it comes to exporting data. You have to have the original CD of MS Office to use the "translator" (heavy sarcasm) to export data. For whatever reason it doesn't install the "translator" when you do the initial MS Office install.
That's good info about using <cfhttp> to read the file and return it as a query object, that will make it easier, as long as the address book is exported in csv format. In my case, importing vCal files, because the vCal format is not "query-like", I couldn't use that method and had to parse everything manually. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Traher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 10:12 AM Subject: Re: Outlook Address Book Importing >I have not done this specifically for outlook addresses, but if you can get > the data into a csv file format and put in on your web server somewhere > you > can use <cfhttp> to read the file and this returns the contents as a > regular > query object.
