Thanks in advance Andrew To export a group go to Start | Run and type wab /new and save it, giving it the name of the group, keeping the WAB extension. Now open your group, select one contact and press Ctrl-A to Select All then Ctrl-C to Copy All. Go to the new address book, click in the contact area and press Ctrl-V to Paste All. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Please reply in newsgroup. Do NOT send email. |

Basically I need to 'tidy up' the groups. ie which people are in which group. This will almost certainly involve moving some people from one group to another, creating new groups and checking to see if there are any 'group only' people ie those peoiple that are just a member of a group and do not have a 'normal' contact record. Just some house keeping really It would just be must easier if I could see the people and their group etc in something like excel Cheers "Roland Bierlein" wrote in message ...

Just some house keeping really I see. Your best way to do this is with the address book as it is. Just open your groups not by double-clicking on them, but use the tree view and expand "Contacts", so that you can see all your groups. If you then select a group, the individual contacts of this group are displayed in the right pane. From there you can drag and drop them as you like, also CTRL+A works there, which Frank mentioned. Unfortunately, those group members which have no "normal" contact record are not displayed there. One should rather not use such, because of this very difficulties they cause. If you should not see this tree view, go to View/Folders and Groups. It would just be must easier if I could see the people and their group etc in something like excel Unfortunately, the group feature of Windows Addressbook is very limited. Maybe someone else knows of a way to accomplish this, I don't. Saludos Roland -- Probleme mit OE? Hier gibt es die Lösungen: http://oe-faq.de! "Herrgott, gib mir Geduld - aber bald." (W. Clement) |
