Are you talking about import the Mac AddressBook?

 

[davidm]

Yes I Did

I spoke over the Mac Adressbook !

 

[stanbusk]

What method are you using for importing? Can you give me more details?

 

[davidm]

I use the tool, i mark each cross!! And he only import first,surname. Email and company name nothing else !!!!!

 

[stanbusk]

I mean, are you using 'Drag & drop' or the 'File > Import Recipients > From Address Book'? What 'cross' are you talking about? Do you mean checkboxes?

 

[davidm]

yes I mean the ceckboxes and I use the Import tool!!! It is not funny that it not works! I need a solution.

I go following way.
1.import - from adressbook.
There I can select the group okay !!! the are a lot of filds down.
Suffix ...... in the middel is the check box on the rigt is Opt3....
I can do what I want he import only the 4 Top fields !!!


Thanks
David

[davidm]

Thanks !

I hope it will work !

I just found out AddressBook no longer gives access to some data. Try to drag and drop an entry to your desktop. The resulting vcard file lacks the suffic as well :-/

 

[davidm]

Thanks !

But I tried it befor on 10.5 there it works!!! now I have 10.6 so cool, i cant use the programm and drag an drop for 500names is not a possible solution!! Any els??? Thanks David

Try to report the problem to Apple. Right now AddressBook no longer gives this information.

 

[davidm]

I dont think a Apple Problem

I see the Problem on your side! there is no possibility to set what is mean with Field (Tags) Opt1-........................

I don't understand, what do you mean? I placed debug code in MaxBulk Mailer to see what AddressBook returns when you ask for the suffix. I get nothing.
