&gt; You are supposed to put the company name into the name field of the 

&gt; address book you use for the clients listing. At least that&#039;s how I 

&gt; understand it.

&gt; and Company Name field - why not adjust Hermes to put the Company 



Because the address book fields have nothing to do with Hermes. Hermes just uses the address book api provided by Turba through Horde. How you set up your address books is completely up to you. The only field that exists for certain is &quot;name&quot;.



&gt; Name in  the drop-down if that field is populated or the Name field 

&gt; if Company Name is empty?



That might be a viable solution, if the api doesn&#039;t return an error if you request a field that doesn&#039;t exist. We would have to check that.</description>

   <description>Actually my request is more of an attempt to avoid having the same contact in two address books: one in Clients for Hermes timetracking and another in Turba for correspondence ... I&#039;m trying to turn Horde into my CRM system and it&#039;s a little rough in some spots. Thanks for the assistance.</description>

How about making configurable either in Hermes or in the &#039;clients&#039; section of Turba&#039;s config, which field should be displayed for clients? That way we could maintain the default of relying on just &#039;name&#039;, but people could set it to &#039;company&#039; or whatever else makes sense to them. Could even allow composite configuration to get name + company.</description>
