    Importing addresses in to the directory

    I'm trying to add a new telephone number into the directory. The address entry begins with a number and I'm not allowed to do this even though there are several entries beginning with a number already there so I'm wondering if these were imported and this got around the restriction ?

    If the import works and I use the File-->Import menu with just this one entry in the Directory.csv file will this wipe out the entire directory and just add my new one in or will the import add this new entry and keep all of the original entries ?

    (As an aside does anyone know if I can tweak something to allow a direct insert into the directory when the name starts with a number ?)

    Thanks.

    Import with numbers in names

    I tested an csv import (JDBC) of an address book with numbers in Last Name and First Name and it works.

    Example:

    Last Name: 1Name
    First Name: 01First Name

    Please check also the settings: Address book server -> Merge keys
