thanks for the feedback, sorry for the cross group posting, i was getting
told to put as it in different groups, so i tried a bunch at once.

That works for every field but not the actual email address, it wont let me
drag and drop based on email addresses. its gives me a circle with a line
through it. if i do anything else like phone, fax or whatever, it allows me
to do that. is this a setting? or is it something with my outlook and
exchange, even though this is not the GAL, its just a personal one.

Here's a workaround:

Use a table view EG Phone List, then Group the Contacts By Email address,
minimised, then give one the the people with no address the addresss
. Drag all other without an address into the group


Read my footer if you don't know the Group By function.

I was wondering if someone knew how to add a placeholder email address
to
all contacts? SharePoint wont seem to allow you to import contacts that
do
not have
a email address, and I have a client with 4800 contacts and about 90%
don't
have email addresses. Manually entering a email address for each would
be a
giant pain. I'm wondering if there a tool or option in outlook that
will
simply add " to all contacts that do not have anything
in
their email field? Maybe there is away to import the contacts without a
email address, i cant seem to find it anywhere. I have searched high
and low
and cant seem to find
anything. Thanks in advance for you help!
