Importing and mapping address book csv
 
Greetings: Currently I have an Address Book with about 4 fields (name and
email info) in it. I would like to have the original Addr. Bk with all the
original mapped date - e.g.home, business & misc.info,. I attempted to
import an older csv file which had all the mapped fields that I wanted.
After the import I still only had the original 4 fields. Should I delete the
Addr Bk and then add a new AB or ? Also how does one export folders and
groups in the Shared Contacts portion of the Addr. Book - I tried and the
export to a WAB file saved the main portion of the AB but not the groups and
folders in the Shared Contacts section. Thanks in advance for forthcoming
replies.

Hi John,

More columns can be added by right-clicking on a column header (in the
address book entries pane). Double-clicking on WAB entry will open the
properties sheets (vCard Reader) where all the information can be found.

If the entries in a group are full address book entries, and not entered
through a group's properties, they can be copied to a new free standing WAB
file. The entries can then be exported from this second address book.
