Lotus Smart Suite 97

I hope I am posting this in the correct group

I have a friend of mine in Scotland who uses Lotus Smart Suite 97 for
his address book. From what I gather this is called Organizer? He
just purchased a new PC and has installed Lotus, but needs to copy the
data files for organizer from his old PC to the new PC. Does
organizer have a backup or export feature to be able to do this. I am
playing PC tech from 5000 miles away and am not familiar with Lotus.
Could anybody please give me some help? Thanks

'1/ Launch Organizer
'2/ Export the address book:
' File or Type = ASCII Delimted Text (*.txt)
' From Select = Address
' Field Mapping = All Fields
'3/ Launch this code which could be an emailed button or even within the
person's Personal NAB
'4/ Type in the full path and file name eg.
C:\lotus\Notes\Data\ExportOrg.txt
'5/ Job done.
The above steps were for something else but seem relevent in your case.
I don't user those products but there must be an import back from .csv as
well.
If you want to involve Notes also in the deal take a look at

Hope this gets you out of more trouble than it will get you in.

Thanks John, I have a feeling he will have to wait till I get over to
Scotland in August for me to help him. He has a hard time with
attachments and email!
