Craig: Cool. I just  posted that I found a way around it (exporting .vcf 
and then using a converter on the web to .ldif and .csv formats) but you 
are correct, I did find evolution-addressbook-export
in /usr/libexec/evolution/2.12/
It wasn't where I was looking for it, from the post I'd read. Had I not 
found a way around it, you would have saved the day.... Thanks!  Lanny
