You should go to AppleScript Central <http://www.applescriptcentral.com/> and look through the OE scripts there. There is a pair of scripts by Allen Watson - Export Group Addresses and Import Group Addresses - which export (all groups) to a text file. You could import them from there to Excel or FMP if you have them. There are four scripts of mine in a package - Group Stuff - which will sort, list, print out, etc. your groups (one of them will include other contact info too). Also there's Export Selected Contacts OE-OE script for exporting just your own selecton of contacts. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://athena.doe.com> Unofficial Outlook Express Page: <http://www.macemail.com/oe/>
