Address book as a table

[zinneken]

Can filemaker look (with the purpose of looking and editing) into the Apple's Address book as if it was an outside table/DB? If so, how would it be done?

[Fitch]

Bento can do it, but not FileMaker. I wouldn't be surprised to see some Bento features in future versions of FileMaker, but Bento is not constrained by the cross-platform requirements of FileMaker.

Thanks Fitch, pity it doesn't.

Also, from experience Bento is lousy at the address book integration. I've thrown it away as I won't wait for +30 seconds of spinning wheel to get to a contact ...
