I would like that `bbdb-complete-name' completes also by last names. googling the topic suggested that one could add the last name of each entry to the AKA field. however, the following does not seem to work:
(defun bbdb-last-name-to-aka () (interactive) (let* ((bbdb-recs (bbdb-records)) rec old-aka new-aka lastname) (while (setq rec (car bbdb-recs)) (setq lastname (bbdb-record-lastname rec) old-aka (bbdb-record-aka rec)) (if (or (string= lastname "" ) (member lastname old-aka)) nil (setq new-aka (cons lastname old-aka)) (bbdb-record-set-aka rec new-aka)) ; (bbdb-save-db t t) (setq bbdb-recs (cdr bbdb-recs) count (+ count 1))))) thanks for a solution ... tomy -- ><(((*> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
