> Yes, a contacts trash can would be a good thing! You can backup your contacts for emergencies like this. There are three options. 1) Entourage archive (.rge) file 2) tab delimited file 3) drag individual contacts to desktop as .eml files. I just posted how to do #3 in this article. First two are under File --> Export. Create individual files for contacts and events <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2009/04/create_individual_files_for_contacts _and_events.html> To get a single contact from 1 and 2, you would need to import into a new Identity, locate that file and drag it to the desktop for import into your regular Identity. I have an Automator workflow that automatically backs up my contacts once a week. Export Entourage Contacts Where: select folder Show Growl Notification Save as plugin for iCal and set time there. (I add a folder action so when the file is added to the folder it is stored by date like this 2009-05-02) For more details on using Automator and scheduling with iCal see this article (includes folder action help too): Entourage and Time-Machine-like backup (creates chronological backup of Identity can be used by both Tiger and Leopard allowing you to roll back to previous dated backups. <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2008/01/entourage_and_time_machine.html> -- Diane YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected]
