After re-reading your original question, I may have misunderstood, and you're wondering why $CONTACTGROUPMEMBERS$ doesn't work. See notes 5 and 7 on the page you linked. These macros work as on-demand-macros in event handlers, since event handler have no contacts associated with them. To obtain a list of conatct group members in that contacts, you would also need to provide the name of the group. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
