Importing Address Book Data from Main Machine is Fine.
Address Book, new, was on another PC (this is a Mac) and it would not let me
search other machines on my workgroup.
thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.File>Import Wizard
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The Import Data Settings Form: Apparently it only looks on the local machine and
cannot search other machines on the WorkGroup. The NEXT button does not work if
the local search shows nothing.

Expected Results:  
I believe it should have said "Cannot Find Local Address Book" and then offer a
Browse option, including network resources.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
