That would be easy. Maybe a vcard export even?

I think so, yes. Org-contacts let you be free about how you manage your
contacts, so it should adapt to your current organization.

Great -- thanks for the response. Though, did you see my other email? I've pointed it toward my contacts.org file and it wants to keep doing something odd with agenda and asking to remove lines from the file itself. What do you think about the errors I'm getting? To duplicate:

| - org-contacts.el moved to load path

| - added =(require 'org-contacts)= to .emacs

| - created ~/org/contact-example.org and used your website's example of Dave Null

| - restarted emacs and did 'M-x org-contacts' followed by typing "dave"

| - the minibuffer shows the following:

| ,-----

| | non-existent agenda file ~/org/#+startup: showeverything. [R]emove from list or [A]bort?

| `-----

|

| Removing the line just moves to the next line and asks if I want to remove '~/org/* Friends', then '~/org/** Dave Null' and so on.

| What am I doing wrong?

Is anyone else having that issue?

Thanks,

John
