Possible to sync two address books?

Processor: Intel
Email Client: imap

I currently have Entourage set up to sync to the address book on my iMac.

I have my work account (uses an Exchange Server) also set up so I can view my work email on Entourage.

Is there any way I can have Entourage sync with both my iMac's address book AND also the contacts on my work account? I can see/edit my work contacts in Entourage. But I'd love to be able to make a change to my iMac's address book and have that change sync to my work contacts.

Entourage says that it can only sync with one address book at a time. Is there any way around this?

Thanks for any help!

`Hi,

I currently have Entourage set up to sync to the address book on my
iMac.

I have my work account (uses an Exchange Server) also set up so I can
view my work email on Entourage.

Is there any way I can have Entourage sync with both my iMac's address
book AND also the contacts on my work account? I can see/edit my work
contacts in Entourage. But I'd love to be able to make a change to my
iMac's address book and have that change sync to my work contacts.

Unfortunately you can't.
You can drag and drop contacts to copy them from one address book to the
other, but you can't really sync the two like that :-\

Thanks for the response. I saw that I could do that. I actually tried to set up a smart folder that would show me which contacts were updated today in my work account, and the same for me home account, so i could easily tell which ones to copy each day. but my work contacts all show up as being updated every day. probably because of system backups or something like that.

is there any easy way you can think of to compare the two sets of contacts, so i can easily know which ones need to be copied? thanks again for your help.

I don't really know why. Maybe because they sync with Exchange all the
time and that tags them as "touched".
Weird.

Well you said it yourself: a smart folder.
