Hi Bev, I've been playing around with Passenger.
It looks like it will fill-the-proverbial-bill. And then some..... It will import and parse the XML export from Workgroup Manager. And it will export the resulting data to any form I care to make of it. Some stuff will have to be parsed in the script for a relational management of multiple e-mail addresses and such. But that's not a show stopper.. Regards, Chuck P.S. Kudos to Steve for pointing this app out. Also like the Fallacy Tutorial I found there as well....
