Michael; Just because there are addresses in PM that you don't want in the Apple Address Book (AAB), doesn't mean that you can't still use the latter to synch to. Just set it up so that PM updates itself from the AAB, but that the AAB does NOT get updated from PM. You'll have all of your AAB contacts there in PM for your use, but anything that you specifically enter only into PM's address book will remain there and won't get shunted back to Apple's.
I have this exact set-up on my machine and it work s fine; my PM address book consists of the AAB contacts _plus_ my various email lists (like this one) which would serve no purpose in the Apple Address Book. New 'normal' contacts are entered in the AAB and PM 'fetches' them for it's own use, but anything that I enter specifically into PM stays there. Hope I'm not restating the really, really obvious :-) Cheers; Rick -- G5 2GHz x2 :: 2GB RAM :: 10.2.7 :: PM 4.2.1 :: 3 pane mode -- Original message: Received from Michael Lewis on 20/10/03 at 12:51 am >I don't use >Apple's Address Book for PM because there are people in PM I don't want >in my main address book. They smell bad. Or something.
