Actually, Mark, it was I believe, Sync Services that sank my contact list in Entourage! I have used SS successfully w/.Mac for a long time, however, I recently installed Leopard on my MacBkPro (which had been in sync with a G5 for more than a year). Several days after installing Leopard and activating Sync Services on it was when I realized by Entourage file had lost all it's contacts, so too have my Apple Address book! Oddly, all the names appeared on line at .Mac. I still haven't figured out what went wrong but I did have two other people tell me that had almost the identical experience after installing Leopard on a 2nd machine.
Back to my original question, anyone know of a way to automate the export of contacts from Entourage?
