Thanks Jan

Unfortunately I can't expand on your comment above to the extent that I can
make anything work. Although using the origonal turba-import-vcard script
may have me looking in the wrong place.

In the current script the following line imports the vcard list to the
address book based on variables allready provided;

$result = $registry->call('contacts/import', array($vcard, 'text/x-vcard',
$source));

Calling the following (and numerous variations of it) doesn't prevent the
script from running but also doesn't do anything;

$result = $registry->call('contacts/delete', deleteAll(), $source);

Can the addressbook contents be deleted as simply as that or should I be
looking at this as a bigger scripting issue?? No doubt I am asking the
obvious but with no scripting examples that I have been able to find to
compare my needs to I am shooting in the dark...

Cheers
Harvey
