Yes, this is expected behaviour.  When accessing the ALL-IN-1 Address Book 
container, it always displays the FIND window.

As an alternative, your customer could select another ALL-IN-1 container 
(e.g. ALL-IN-1 Nicknames), which does not display the Find window.

When using the ALL-IN-1 Address Book container, the names are not sorted. 
However, the entries in Subscribers and Mail Directory are sorted on 
surname.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I am still trying to become familiar with
this.  It seems our customers are playing with it before we are!

Thanks again,

Jean

Hi, after giving the customer the information from reply #2, she came
back with the following questions/concerns.

When she selects SUBSCRIBERS as the default the FIND window does not
appear, but neither does a list of subscribers.

What she is basically looking for is when she hits the TO: icon a list
of the users (subscribers) on her system to appear.  This way she can
scroll through it and locate the addresses she wants.  Can this be done,
if so - how?

Thanks,
Jean

Unfortunately, this is not possible.  We decided that the full list of 
subscribers should not be displayed when selecting Subscribers.  This is 
for performance reasons: imagine a site with 10000 subscriber entries - it 
would take a significant amount of time to list these entries, during which 
the user cannot do anything.  So instead we decided that the user must use 
Find to narrow down the number of subscriber entries listed.

        And of course, SUBSCRIBERS is not a distribution list, but a
        special mail destination, and should probably not expand.

    Note that this is just the same behaviour as in the VT, where we won't
    let you do a DDS search unless *some* of the fields are filled in.

Its me again, here is what the customer wants to be able to do:

	- See a list of ALL users on the ALL-IN-1 system so that a user
	  can scroll through the list and pick names they want to send
	  to.  

From what I have read, this cannot be done today with V1.0.  Are there
any plans to add this functionality?

Also, is there any way to sort names by surname?

Thanks for all the help so far....  Someday I might get to close this
call :)

Jean

Jean,

Unfortunately there is no way to list all subscribers, or to sort on 
surname.

There are no current plans to change this functionality.  Contact the 
Product Manager, Dave Holt@REO, if you want this to be considered for a 
future release.
