I have a user who has a handheld device which synchronizes its address book with the Notes local names.nsf quite nicely. But the user would like the system address book entries to be put into his local names.nsf.
What would be the best way to do this? How could the local names.nsf be kept current with the system names.nsf?
Thanks

Hi,
Directory catalog is your answer.
I don’t know how are you sync the palm, but I will give a shot.
Your solution is OK, but you can expect a lot of problems.

Subject: system address book → local address book
I have developed a way to do this, but I have run into a problem:
I am trying to put the users in my system address book (names.nsf) into a user’s local address book.
I have done this by creating a local replica of system names.nsf, giving it a different name on the local machine. I have set up replication so that changes to the system names.nsf will be replicated to the local one, but NOT in the other direction. Then I have replaced the design of this replica, so its design is a personal address book. Next, I copied from the old personal address book to the new one the user’s contacts, plus location information.
Next I rename the old address book, and rename this replica names.nsf, so that when the client starts it will use it as its address book. However, the replication schedule does not show replication with the system names.nsf, as it did before I renamed the files.
The replication schedule appears to be associated with the address book.
How do I copy it to the new names.nsf?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
