Product Description:

The Address Book Manipulator plug-in provides a lightning fast two-way data exchange between FileMaker Pro and the Macintosh OS X Address Book using nothing more than simple FileMaker script steps. No AppleScript or XML programming is required! However FileMaker scripting knowledge is required as the plug-in is not a "canned" solution.

Completely rebuilt for the FileMaker Pro 7 through 10 native plug-in architecture as well as the Macintosh Universal Binary Intel hardware platform. Developers will have the tools necessary to manipulate the Address Book DIRECTLY THROUGH A FILEMAKER PRO INTERFACE!

Features include:

  • Access Group Records
  • Access Every Text, Date and Number Field Available in Address Book including Labels and Custom Labels
  • Access Address Book Contact Record Modification Dates
  • Ability to search Address Book records by nearly any criteria
  • Add, Edit, and Delete Address Book Contact Records directly from FileMaker
  • Get Address Book Contact Record Count
  • Exchange data dynamically in a "one-to-many" format which handles group and individual contacts, multiple addresses, phone numbers and e-mails per record
  • and much more!

Example Uses:
  • Push contacts from your FileMaker contact manager into the Apple Address Book for easy address lookup
  • Pull contacts from your the Apple Address Book into your custom FileMaker Pro Solution
  • Use this plug-in to facilitate moving your contact information from FileMaker Pro into your iPhone via the OS X Address Book
  • Easily distribute your corporate FileMaker data to the Address Book without the problems of double entry or missing information
  • Apple's Address book is integrated into all other programs on the Macintosh. Use this plug-in to bridge the gap!

What's new in this version:

  • - Snow Leopard compatible.
  • - Re-wrapped plug-in code.
  • - Added "optType" parameter to PCAB_Version description.
  • - Fixed bug with PCAB_Search function when searching for Dates using "Creation Date" and "Modified Date" properties.

  • - Corrected FileMaker crash and error when setting MV properties in specific instances by protecting against errors when setting empty values and/or empty labels.

    The Address Book Manipulator does everything it promises and is great to use. In addition the support provided by Productive Computing is top of the line. I have never been provided with such amazing support via email AND phone. If you have any problems just give them a call and you will be glad you did!

    The plug-in however is not a pre-packeged solution as most of us Mac users would like but that is because of thenature of FileMaker. FileMaker scripts are needed to use the plug-in as you must specify your fields. If you do not know how to create FileMaker scripts or have limited knowledge, then find a developer in your area at www.filemaker.com

    If you are a developer, then try the plug-in out.

    Thanks Productive for providing me with the tool to link my FileMaker database and Apple Address Book!!!!

    Nothing Pro about his new plug-in. First of all, Filemaker Pro is a powerful database, and it works because it is self-contained. This new plug in was bizarre! First of all, I had to register it online, and then it was supposed to work, for like 30 days, or for 30 minutes, whichever came first...So I signed up and I thought I had done what I was supposed to so...but I kept getting an error message that said I didn't register it...For me, software is supposed to make my life easier. The details, and registration process, and the ability to "pull" and "push" data from my address book didn't work. The arrows and nomenclature were like something out of some engineers or pharmaceutical consultant's drawing room...complete with arrows and non-functioning prognoses...

    duuhhhh...why not must make it simple???? and pretty, cause FileMaker Pro is simple and pretty!
