I am comparing..addresses, phone numbers, home and business... And so I was trying to sync them.... And then not get into this again. I have over 480 in the address book....
I exported both..and made the headings the same..so I could compare like ones...phones, mobiles...etc The ideas are good..and will help me get going....
