I want to export our clients address book to my major department managers machines so that they can do their own mailings to our database. If I as the "Administrator" export the book to a managers machine, will it be listed as a seperate address book? Or will it:
Overwrite his current book.?
Append itself to his current book.?
Or what ... ???

Cheers
George

so maybe you could do this by preparing the source address book for the export by moving all the it's entries into a new , uniquely named subfolder within the Main Identity Contacts folder. then when you do the import, it will add that discreet folder...make sure the subfolder has a name not currently in use by any of the managers...
i chose Export Address Book, comma separated values, then Import Other Adddress book, comma separated values...
