Creating the groups through the API? I have no idea, since there's a relatively limited number of them, and they're pretty static for us, I just created them in the admin interface.
But creating the contacts in the shared contacts is pretty simple, I seem to remember. 'Course, all the code's at work, and I'm not. I don't really remember what I did exactly either, I think it was straight forward. But I'm on vacation, it's Friday night, it's thirty degrees out and the beer is going down well. :) Gilsurf wrote: > That sounds like it.
