Hi Peter,

Peter Chiou wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and made these points:

PC> Is  there  a  way to allow multiple entries with the same handle, i.e.
PC> multiple Joe's?

What would you want to do that for? (Just wondering).

The handle is a *unique* identifier for the record so the simple (and
by definition) answer is no, it can't be done.

You can have multiple entries with the first name of "Joe". You can
have multiple entries across different address books with the same
handle, but that's not what you're asking about.

What would be the advantage of having the same handle? The only thing
that I can think you might be doing is using %ABxxxHANDLE in a generic
template for forming a greeting line. In which case you can just as
easily use %ABxxxFIRSTNAME or even hide the "friendly" name in another
AB field that you're not using, like the Memo or Middle name field and
then use %ABxxxMEMO or %ABxxxMIDDLENAME to get at it.

I can think of no other reason why you would need to duplicate the
"unique handle" for an address book entry.
