LDIF/LDAP!?

If you cut or copy an entry into your clipboard and paste it into a
text editor you can see it.

I should think you could sync a database with TB!'s AB by creating a
small application (possible with Paradox, DBase, DB/2 and others) that
calls up the AB file(s), reads them in, checks for duplicates, deletes
them and writes back into an AB file.

Re[2]: How to create reports from The Bat! address book.

2002-01-25 Thread Jean-Baptiste Lavedrine


Shahar,

That's a way to do but I would like to avoid such transfer to keep
everything in sync. In fact, I'm wandering if the ADB file is not
built in a well known format.

Thanks,

Jean-Baptiste

I don't know about linking Access directly to an ADB, but you can
export an ADB to a comma or tab delimited file that you can import
into many programs (like Excel). You can also use the Microsoft Text
driver to create an ODBC data source name that you can link to Access
(or any other ODBC client).

HTH,

2002-01-25 Thread Jean-Baptiste Lavedrine

Hi,

Most of the time, address book are used to store useful
information. I would like to create some reports from all this
informations. Does anyone know if it is possible to link the ADB file
to a reporting tool (ie; Access)?
