Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to create a simple UDP / script / or whatever to create a list NICKNAME mail addresses from the contents of the profile.dat. What we want to do is dump all the subscribers addresses into the NICKNAME address book in ALL-IN-1 for a particular user. Thanks regards Mike

Why would you want to do this? Is the SUBSCRIBERS special DL (which
contains all users in the PROFILE) not suitable?
It's not difficult to do a loop through PROFILE and then write to the
nicknames file with the NIENTR form, but what would you want as the
'nickname' and what as the address? How would this be any different
than looking up the names directly from the profile?
Do you want to move this to TeamLinks perhaps?

>> It's not difficult to do a loop through PROFILE and then write to the >> nicknames file with the NIENTR form Note that the address "field" on the NIENTR form is actually four FMS fields concatenated together. So if you want to write a long address to NIENTR, you have to split it into pieces that match the lengths of the FMS fields. Scott | |||||

Re -2 Graham, The reason why we want to do this is because, we want to easily dump all of the names / addresses in ALL-IN-1 into the PAB in TeamLinks. The plan is to use the NICKNAMES address book in ALL-IN-1 as the link. regards Mike | |||||

Mike,
OK, so do you know how to do it now, or do you need more help?
I just spoke to the author of the TL Nicknames to PAB utility, and he
said it would be "just a few lines of VB..." to use the AIDA server to
copy all entries from the profile into your PAB.
Failing that, from TL, create a personal DL using SUBSCRIBERS: as
input, create a message using that DL, and then take the option to copy
all the addressees to you address book... (Should be in WINDOWS_OFFICE
by now, shouldn't we :-) )
