This thread is very helpful.  I have been a dedicated DateBk3 and now
DateBk4 user, but agree with the concerns regarding the complexity of the
program.  However, more important to me is DateBk's ability to properly sync
with Outlook.  Can someone please comment on whether there are any synching
issues w/ Action Names and their desktop programs.  Does AN's addressbook
sync with the desktop?
