I am trying to import Outlook addresses into a Lotus address book. I’ve searched the forum but haven’t found no clear way of doing this. I’ve exported the address book and it creates an ldif file. Any suggestion or steps to get it into a Lotus group? Diane

Hello Diane,
i don´t think that you can import an LDIF File directly into the personal AB. I did this with a tabular text file and a column file where you define which column is imported in which field. But this was very toilsome because Lotus Notes 5, had problems to import numbers in a textfield. I don´t know if Lotus Notes handles this better.
There are a lot of third party tools to import adresses directly from Outlook or Netscape to Notes. We bought a tool call addrload, which do this job fine. If you need to do this very often you should buy such a tool.
We will buy a software to migrate Emails and Calendar Entries too from binary tree:
Perhaps this helps a bit.
Greetings
Andreas

search the sandbox. i found some really good examples of code in there do do what you want.
also there are examples of having outlook being able to open document links. I forgot the person who did this, but the code was very easy to understand.
