I wasn't able to get it to work smoothly.

What does this mean? Did you read the FAQ? Did you understand the instructions?

Now I want to export my address book to a flash drive

What are you trying to achieve in the first place?

TB's address book doesn't show that option anymore. i believe it has something to do with Gcontactsync software.

No, it hasn't. Presumably you didn't look at the right place. What exactly did you do?

Anyway, can I just copy the file in my profile and than paste into new PC?

1. Obvious I didn't understand the instructions.

2. I want to export my address book to my new PC via a flash drive. I have used the export function many times before Gcontacts. It has vanished.

I use Gmail along with TB for various reasons and wanted the ability to sync the 2 with a click when I added a new contact to TB.

Anyway, didn't work out

Will try the profile mov way.

tks
