>Does the phone have an email address independent of anything else? Yes, an email address is an entry by itself, independent of anything else. The same is also true for a number or mail list. >Did you try? And if it can't the database should be fixed, not >mangling the data. Yes, I did and it didn't work. I'll look into making the database more flexible. >You said 'string of names'. I misspoke. It's a list of entries, whereas an entry could be either a number or an email address (but not another mail list entry). >Do they reference contacts on the phone? eg if I have a contact of >John Smith with number 1234567890 and the list has 1234567890 in it >and then on the phone I change John Smith's number, does the list >change as well? The list still points to the same entry even though the name, phone number, or speed dial may change. >Then it really does sound like we should use references. If we >import into BitPim, change details for the contact and export back >to the phone, then the right thing should happen. I believe you're correct. But until the database is improved, I'll leave this feature out and document it as a limitation. -Joe Pham _____________________________________________________________________ Call Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere in the World - FREE!
