Melissa, Try this : the real location, so close before... (Your Home directory)/Library/Application Support/AddressBook Sorry, for the confusion I have an Addresses folder in Library and I assumed that it was what the Address Book application was using. Apparently, it is an old location for the Address book because I found the new location above as well... Also a thing to try when you are having trouble locating stuff: File-Find in the Finder. A search for "address" would have helped you find what your were looking for. Keep in mind that we are using a Macintosh and that most files have a reasonable humane filename. So, searching in most cases will help you find what you are looking for. Dan Brieck Jr. On Apr 30, 2005, at 10:40 PM, Melissa wrote: > There is no such file.
