G'day Tony & Ronda
finally cracked my " State " problem in the address book, when I
started to enter W.A. and the menu dropped down, one of the
alternatives I could select was highlighted in lower case, changed it
to the upper case one " W.A. " and hey presto rectified.
Certainly shows to check the simplest things first !!!
Hope you have solved your problem Tony.
Thanks Ronda
cheers

Hi Bill, Tony & WAMUGers,
Bill is correct in everything he has said.
I installed it from the Installer & it asked if I wanted it installed
in Address Book & Entourage.
I installed it in Address Book (I don't have Entourage).
It doesn't install in the Scripts Folder ... it installs in - HD >
LIBRARY > ADDRESS BOOK PLUG-INS
Then when you Open Address Book and click & hold on 'Home' (where you
have the address),
in a person's card it shows 'Lookup Postcode' as well as other Scripts
such a WhereIs, WhereIs Directions, MultiMap etc.
Tony does not mention what OSX or version of Address Book he is using.
As to why Bill can only have 'State' in lower case, I really have no
idea ??
Other than checking my Preferences, I have in 'General' Address
Format - Australia & Font - Regular.
My State is in upper case (WA).
Cheers,
Ronni

G'day Tony,
Hmm got me there, should be in Library/Address book Plugins/Lookup
Postcode script.
But its not. I'm not technical minded, things works for me then I'm
happy,
I just opened my address book, clicked on the tab "home"or "work"
depending on if its commercial or private address, it cascades down
and I select "lookup postcodes " from a number of options it gives.
It does say that its only been tested on 10.3.7/10.3.8 & Address book
3.1.2 and Entourage 2004 11.1.0. and "may" not work on others...and
also reqs an active internet connection.
Hope this is some help, me I'm still trying to figure out why my
"State" in the address will only accept lower case.
I'm hoping Ronda or someone on the list can help ( both of us by the
look of it !! )
Cheers
Bill

Hello Bill
Would you mind clarifying how one finds (I have downloaded it and
installed it) the script and how one uses it
I must be a dumbo
But since downloading and installing I cannot go further
Thanks

Hi Ronda,
I agree great , just started using it and find it very good( G5
10.3.8 ) although I cannot understand why in the "State" mine only
accepts lower case, (no capitals) or am I missing something ?
