Share one Address Book among multiple users
Authored by: chris_on_hints on Dec 06, '04 09:27:52AM

Symbolic links make the program think its working with the original file, which an alias does not (in some situations it does, but not all)

a "sym link", as they are called, are created using the terminal command "ln":

ln -s original_file place_to_put_the_link

That will do it. remember that you can type "ln -s " and then drag and drop the thing you want to create the sym link onto the terminal window.... the directory and file name will be entered for you. type "man ln" to get more info.....
