The web page simply downloads a .vcf file, which is a standard data format for contact data. Apple Address Book and Entourage can both handle these formats, you just need to tell the system to use Entourage by default. Call up a contact, and right-click on the 'add to outlook' link and select 'download linked file as...' (wording is for Safari, IE/other browsers will have a similar function). Save the file to the hard disk. Now, select the saved file in the finder, Control-Click on it and select �Show Info� from the contextual menu. In the window that appears, click on "General Information" and choose "Open with application" from the pop-up list. Click on the down arrow in the icon box and select the application you want from the list that appears or select the "Other..." command. Click the �Change All� button which is now active. >From now on, all these files should open up in entourage directly. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the Entourage FAQ pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> -- 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/>
