Invalid address in Eudora

Hello everyone,

we're having a user with the following problem. When he opens his address book in Eudora, he gets the following error message:

Invalid address. Quotes and/ord parentheses don't match.

I already searched a bit on the net, but didn't find anything till now. Does someone has an idea?

Thanx,
Jvuz

Jvuz, did you look at the address book file? Here is a snippet from mine:

alias "Mills A Boon" (for non-readers) MillsNBoon@soppybook.com
note "Mills A Boon" <last:Boon><first:Mills A><name:Mills A Boon>

I suspect any of the quotes or brackets missing will lead Eudora to complain.
On the latest version of Eudora (7.1.0.9) the error window tells you the offending entry which you need to edit.
OOPs forgot... I suppose that it does not need said, but ensure that Eudora is closed whilst you are editing the address book file.

Apparantly removing the TOC file, did the trick. Thanx,
