Rob, It probably is possible with some jimmying, but it defeats one of the major goals of Rolodap. A problem with individual addressbooks in an organization is that the same address tends to be entered in many individuals' addressbooks. This causes several problems --- Jones is unaware that Smith has the address Jones is looking for, Brown has a more current address than White but there is no way to tell which is the most current, etc. So Rolodap uses a single shared database with the personal addressbooks being nothing more than a view of the common databse. When someone starts to add an address, an early check is whether the sytem already has the address available for use. Good for organizations --- but not the place to store your mistress' phone number <grin> John Robert Brooks wrote: > should contacts in Personal Address Books be viewable by only the user > who's Personal Address Book they are in.
