Jobst;
I'd love to see what you have so far. I may get some ideas.
I can't see how to do this generically as there are many structural
differences. For example, I have a single record in FileMaker for
each contact but, to fully emulate AddressBook, I'd have to have a
separate file with addresses and phone numbers.
Another thing that bothers me is that I've concluded, to do this
right, every time I do a scan, I have to scan all records in both
places, this is in order to pick up deletions in one database
corresponding to a record in the other that hasn't been modified. I
think this is going to make it reasonably slow even though for most
records all you have to do is verify that the corresponding record is
still there and hasn't been modified.
Regards,
David
P.S. And whatever I eventually come up with I will definitely share
with the group. I don't think the script will be usable without some
customization as I can't think of a way to access fields in the
Address Book without using the class names. And even relatively
simple operations, such as setting the group for a record, are a bit
tricky when you consider the possible need to create the group or to
delete it.
