I think that it's probably more likely that the group uses some mechanism analogous to the AppleScript 'find' command to check that the email address (still) belongs to the contact. It will get a "YES" if the address if either default or non-default. This would be much, much faster than checking for 'default email address' property (which is not the same as 'email address 1' in Entourage, indices relate to order of creation). It may do this check for every single group member when you open the group, so speed would be essential. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
