There's more than one way to do it however, and neither involves the method I used for all the other scripts since AB doesn't import text files. it looks pretty well-scripted, however. I'll either script it, or do it by vCards. > > A script to export in LDIF format would be good, but with all the fields > Entourage has, I'm sure not all the info will transfer to the Address book. But a lot will. It's got a lot of fields. Some (a lot) of it is stolen from Entourage. Entourage could do worse than steal back 'label', which is a very good idea. Then we could finally have 'home', 'work' and 'other' email addresses by script. AB can do that. Also you've got to hand it to them: the AppleScript plural of of 'person' (their term for 'contact') is 'people'. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
