How to answer that question depends upon what/how you use your existing contact manager. If all you want is something to keep basic contact information in, then you can create a database using BASE. (The PIM template that was available for OOo 1.1.x is no longer available. The Wizard function in OOoBASE makes soemthing that is almost acceptable.) If you use it for is email, then, assuming you are using Oracle's version of OOo, you can utilize Thunderbird's contact management database from within OOo. ( In theory, any email client's contact management database can be utilized from within OOo. For various reasons, that is not always the case.) If you use it for other things, then you probably need to write a PERL or Python script to keep the OOo/Thunderbird version synchronized with the version used by the other tools. How easy this is, depends upon what those tools and their devices are. For some devices --- especially those designed by people who think that users should not be able to use the device for the purpose for which it was designed --- it will be virtually impossible to write a script that works correctly. jonathon -- Personal email to this account is automatically forwarded to Dave Null, and goes unread by any human. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
