Thanks, Ronni. I used to do all this very happily with Folders
Synchroniser but Leopard and Tiger bits are not the same, hence
resorting to vCards. I will look at your suggestion.
Have a good day!

We have three computers, one master (G5 Leopard) and two others

other two by exporting from the G5 Address Book as vCards and then
importing into the other two over my LAN. This is fine except that
the information for Groups is not updated. Is it possible to
update Groups as well?
Hi Severin,
If you don't have MobileMe.
You need the /Home/Library/Applications Support/AddressBook/ folder
and these two files from the /Home/Library/Preferences folder:
com.apple.addressbook.plist
com.apple.addresbook.adb.plist
Copy these to the respective locations on the machines you wish to
have the most current versions. You cannot "merge" the data.
You might be able to use a Backup Software to sync Address Book
files to all your computers.
I don't know if "fruux" will accomplish what are wanting to do.
"fruux 0.9.6.4
Sync your Address Book, Calendars, Tasks, Bookmarks between Macs.
fruux is a lightweight and convenient system preference pane, that
syncs your Address Book, Calendars, Tasks, Bookmarks and Notes
between different Macs. fruux supports sync conflict resolution
which will help you when you changed a record on more than one
machine. fruux is still in beta, please backup your data!"
