Hi Karra,

Thanks for your response.

I had an older version. It was 2.2.0, commit 5d86a23, with some changes that I 
made myself to allow more types of phone numbers, e.g. instead of 'Mobile', I 
also allowed 'iPhone', and I accepted these also with lower case, because some 
had 'home' instead of 'Home' etc.

I also changed uuid1() to uuid4(), although I can't remember why. But these 
didn't change the basic functionality. But at that time there was not support 
for version 9.

And then later, the underlying Google API library changed, so ASynK wouldn't 
work anymore, and I gave up and updated BBDB so I got version 9 file format 
support.

I have now fetched the new Github code and I will try to see if that works.

Pieter.
