I have been looking for a simple but more capable Mac OS X Address Book tool but it appears there are not many worth using.
I have MBS Complete and it has some Address Book classes and I see Xojo can do some things natively but I don’t want to re-invent a contact manager from scratch unless I have no choice.
I really want it to interface with the Address Book database on my Mac since other things use that list.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
The Addressbook stuff is deprecated by Apple in favor of Contacts framework:
It’s part of MBS Plugins:

In general I would suggest to write utilities to do certain tasks only. Not rewrite the whole app.
I guess writing a few tools would be a good approach. I was thinking I needed a new comprehensive tool.
I could write a small interactive program to put some data into a specific field then write a tool to dump out all of the columns I needed into a spreadsheet.
