Hello tbudl, I posted this question a while ago and did not receive any replies. I would like to try one more time - if anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.
I use a Palm, and the Palm desktop. To move my addresses to TB, I do a "select all" then "Export to VCard." Then, I go to the TB Address book, delete all of the existing addresses (in a dedicated address book) and import the vcard file. As I do this, the address book file (palm.adb) grows and grows - it never gets "compressed." Question #1, is there any way to compress the address book file? When addressing a new message, one must type the first name, then last name to auto-complete from the address book. I noticed that there is a setting in the address book called "Display name as." When I import from a vcf file, it is set, by default, at "user defined." If I change that setting to "Last, first middle" then I can successfully auto-complete by typing the last name first, followed by a comma, then first name. However, if I do a "select all" then try to change that field, it is greyed-out. Question # 2, is there a way to globally change the "display name as" field? If not, is there any other way to get auto-complete working by typing last name first? Also, I was considering using TB as my primary address book, and then exporting to Palm. However, Palm cannot recognize a vcf file exported from TB. And, the csv files are such a pain to deal with on a routine basis. Anyone? -- Best regards, Steve mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00.6 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
