Of course, you can export a group of vCards by selecting the ones you want and choosing File->Export vCard. It will create a single vCard file that contains information for ALL of the selected cards. You can then import this file using the target computer's Address Book.

What if you export from one address book, take the file to the other computer, and import? Would that work?


Export what and how? I can do File -> Back up Database... but the other
Address Book can only do: "Revert to Database Backup..." which replaces
its database with the other database.
This would make sense if this database is a true subset of the other.
This is of course not the case.


The only way to import is File -> Import -> vCards....
But the only way to generate vCards is File -> Export vCard... (please
note the singular case).
This is way to tedious.

Well - to answer my own question: Sync Services is probably very nice
but I guess it is no help for me.
So I'll just go ahead with my own Address Sync program.


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
