So there's something specific about your setup Ben, I'm afraid.
Rick, You're correct in that my prefs are set to default using the PM address book. The thing is, I am 98% positive that "Open in AAB" used to work properly some time ago. It has been probably a month or two since I would have last invoked that function, but I am certain that it's worked for me before. ...... but I have now solved the problem! Looking in the prefs, I realised that PM had become de-synchronized from my addressbook (probably because I have been moving my database between my G4 and iBook recently). Consequently it must have lost the link. I re-exported and re-enabled synchronization, and "Open in AAB" works again. (unfortunately, now my AAB contains hundreds of users in duplicate. Oh well, I'll deal with that later.) -b -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
