How can I update contact info without replacing or creating dupes?
I want to UPDATE info only. For instance:
If the existing info for Tom Smith lists his business number and the new info lists his home number, I want these two to merge- not create 2 different entries for Tom Smith. Thank you, B |

How can I update contact info without replacing or creating du
Was that not coherent? Let me try slowly this time.
How can I update my contacts with new information without REPLACING old info or making duplicates? For example, if Russ has a work phone number listed, and I want to add another work number- how can I avoid replacing the old with the new? I want for the program to ultimately show two work numbers for Russ. Thank you.

How can I update contact info without replacing or creating du
Thank you. That answer siffices for one contact. What do I do if I am
importing contacts from Excel- a whole bunch of them and want them to merge with existing contacts? ie- update existing contacts, not replace. "Brian Tillman" wrote: B. RAORANE B. wrote: I want to UPDATE info only.

So, open Tom Smith's contact record and type in his home number. -- Brian Tillman |

What I would do, perhaps, would be to export the contacts into an file, use Excel to merge the data, then delete my existing contacts and import the Excel file. -- Brian Tillman |
