Exporting contacts

[Guest]

Hello,

I'd like to export contacts from Outlook 98 to Novell Groupwise via .vcf
files. How do I export specific contacts from the Global Address List? I know
I can copy them to my Personal Address Book, but this can't be imported into
Groupwise. I've tried setting up a contacts folder in Outlook to drop in the
contacts I want to export, but can't figure out how to copy contacts in from
the Global Address List.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks,
-Jack

Isn't this the hard way? Why not find out what Groupwise can import and
export from the GAL to that format (to a single file) directly instead of
creating many, many .vcf files? See

Thanks for your reply, Sue

This is part of the problem though - Groupwise, in its infinate wisdom, can
only import either a Novell Address Book (.nab) or .vcf files. Seen as its
only a handful of contacts, and I'll only have to do it once I'm not too
worried about moving the addresses via .vcf files.

Try adding the GAL entries to an email address, then right-click and choose
Add to Contacts for each one.
