RE: [Pythoncard-users] Disabling outlook integration in addressesZODB

Just to prove that I am the worlds most efficient 'prototyper', Kevin looked at my code and immediately came up with a much more elegant solution.

Basically, if you are not running on Windows the 'Import  Outlook' menu item is disabled. If you are running Windows nothing *now* happens until you select the menu item. If you don't have Outlook and you select the menu item them my old friend the installation wizard comes up and serve you right for doing so. If you do have Outlook and select the menu item then your contacts database is imported into the sample application - maybe, I'm not running Outlook so I can't tell you whether or not it works ;-)

So, changes are checked into CVS and ignore the '-o' flag that I posted in the original message.

Regards,
Andy
