Exporting/ sending address book data - Please Help!!

[marcus]

Hi there

Thanks for reading this...

Can anyone tell me how to export individual categories of entourage
address book data and send them via email? I have my own small
training business, and use my address book for all my mailshot
marketing contacts. I want my PA to be able to make sales calls, put
contacts into certain categories, and email me the updates; also I
want to be able to email her contacts who we haven't approached yet.
I've tried exporting contacts and sending but can't attach an .rge
file, and Stuffit doesn't seem to want to do it either.

Can anyone help? I'm really stuck on this one!

Cheers

Marcus

P.S. Both of us are using MacBookPros...

The problem sounds like it's sending the attachment rather than what
actually goes into the archived file.

Try this. Create a folder and put the .rge file inside. Now use the Finder's
zip function. Control click on the folder and select "Create archive of...."

Entourage requires that folders be stuffed. Even though the Entourage
archive appears as one file it's actually a folder of files. I'm not sure
why Stuffit isn't working for you. I just tested suffing an .rge file and it
worked as expected.
