Re: GUI address tool

[Guenter Brast - Sun Germany Sales Support - Frankfurt <Guenter.Brast@Germany>]

Hi Jon,
I tried to use adresses,
but I must have overlooked somethink, because I got "pi-bind not found"-error!
--- FOR SUNNIES ONLY -- :
I would love to connect our salesdesk database to the pilot, so one may fill
his pilot with adresses, which are already stored there or vice versa!
But my time is limited, so don`t wait for a tool yet!
